Inslee does business as usual

As a U.S. congressman, Jay Inslee legislated at night behind closed doors with the Democrat cabal. As governor, he continues the same practice.

According to Smart Government Washington (SGW), he has held secret, closed-door negotiations between the governor's office and the state employees unions. No one, including the citizens, press, or even legislators are allowed in these meetings.

Of course, in the past, the state employees unions have spent millions to elect the governor and Democrat party members and are doing the same in this upcoming election.

Can the taxpayers of Washington state trust Governor Inslee to act in favor of them, or in favor of the "cash cow" unions? It is for the Democrats, merely business as usual.
