Governor should control costs before asking for taxes

Instead of more taxes, how about some house cleaning, starting with the Washington State Ferry System.

In 1978: 700 +/- workers on the docks and on the boats, 54 workers in WSF offices. Thirty + years later: 700 +/- workers on the docks and the boats, 800 +/- in WSF offices.

How did this happen? Better question, why?

Please clean your house before you leave, governor and let’s hold off adding more taxes before you go.
