Olympia voters show maturity

George Walter's op-ed about the many ways we fail to provide for a positive future is very timely. So often, we seem to favor lower taxes over investments that will provide a good quality of life for future generations.

Fortunately, the voters of Olympia have recently shown the maturity to say "yes, we will pay more now so that there will be parks in the future." I find this very hopeful and reassuring.
