Look, overall, I'm fine with Jay Inslee's performance in Congress.
But I just can't stand these insufferable statements like the one from his resignation. Jay, you're really going to create a new economy in Washington state? Without seceding from the United States, how is that possible. The state can't enter into trade agreements, print money, or much of anything else that has a significant impact on the economy.
So if that statement means you're going to set up tax incentive plans that reward industries to come to your state, you may want to see how sensationally that's been working in the Carolinas and Alabama in particular.... coming soon, lots of moderate-paying jobs with a huge dependence on Federal subsidies because the tax giveaways are never offset by taxes collected by the "little people" (btw- a very republican strategy).
Point is, Governors CAN do a great deal about the future of residents. For example, improve education funding fairness, health care, elder care, transportation, agriculture, and control poor development patterns. To skip right past those (at least, there was nothing quoted here, so if the article's focus on just the comment about state "jobs plan" in the announcement was unfairly attributed, I will eat my words) things where you CAN make a difference and talk about jobs where you really CAN'T make much of a difference isn't what I'd call a great coming out.
