BREAKING: I just signed a bipartisan transportation budget for our state that invests $1.5 billion in preservation and maintenance for our roads and bridges, without raising taxes. We have 80 bridges that are more than 80 years old and in poor condition. We rank first in the country for... show more

I'm calling BS. Last year, you signed the largest tax increase in state history. This year, you signed over $2 billion in new spending and an income tax
You passed the largest tax increase in state history last year and signed an unconstitutional income tax this year. Not sure it's possible for you to raise taxes any more than you already have. How long until we aren't #1 in potholes?
So when can you start calling out @senmarkoliias who is Chair of Transportation for his COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE to do his fucking job? You and Democrats have blown through billions,while that piece of shit flies to Finland,his ancestral home that we paid for to "be inspired"?
Here, learn some more about the state you reign over
What happened to all the tax money that was supposedly (earmarked), for maintenance?
Congrats on the bare-minimum maintenance after years of neglect and record tax hikes, including that new unconstitutional income tax. WA ranks 48th in highway performance and cost-effectiveness while blowing billions elsewhere. Fix the waste and mismanagement first; then maybe the potholes and bridges won't be national jokes.
Oh look even more money laundering. Bob is on a out of control, rampant spending spree. Wheres the money actually going, Bob?
Where the hell is the GAS TAX going?
Are you just repaying the roads fund from the general fund, to reverse roads fund piggybank raids from the past?
What happened to Pot taxes paying for all of that infrastructure?
Maybe if you didn't give out our tax dollars all willy nilly to stupid and wasteful stuff, clamped down on the fraud, waste, and abuse, like a responsible governor, this wouldn't be an issue. Noooo, here we are givong millions so people in prison can get cosmetic procedures done (laser hair removal for inmates), and funnelling tax dollars to the teacher's union so they can use part of those funds to 'donate', sorry I mean buy government officials, who in turn send more tax dollars their way.
This mf seriously is going to stand up there and say he's going to maintain roads that should have already been maintained. Then say he did it without raising taxes a day after he signs an unconstitutional income tax and a year after raising taxes the most in a single session in history? This guy is an absolute fraud.
Wow... going 'all in' on "maintenance for our roads and bridges"...
BOB… I sure wish you guys didn’t waste that 10 billy surplus we had a few years ago 🤷♂️
You do realize you jack ass democrats have held office in Washington state for 40 years, if something isn't fixed its your parties fault. You have plenty of taxes to make this state more beautiful then it is on its own but you will screw that up too.
CHECK our the RAPlNG to WA State using word EQUITY instead of DEI DUMBSHYT.
@future42org Why does WA rank first in the nation for potholes? Why are there so many bridges in poor condition? Who has been administering the state for the last 40 years?
Without raising taxes? Good lord dude all you've done is raise our taxes through the roof since you've been elected through mail in ballots.
That's all a commie talks about, raising taxes and spending money.
Without raising taxes? You signed the largest tax hike in WA history last year and just signed the Millionaire tax. You don’t know how to do anything within a budget without raising taxes!
DUDE YOU ALREADY RAISED TAXES FFS GAS TAX PART GOES TO TRANSPORTATION REMEMBER?
Hey pedo pusher, bobbing on our dollars.... YOU FAILED YOUR OATH TO WE THE PEOPLE. WE THE PEOPLE LOOK FOWARD TO YOUR ARREST AND PROMPT TELEVISED JUSTICE. YOU CHOSE POORLY. #BlessUp traitor
As a heavy const and dump truck biz owner in WA for 30 years—There is no work. This industry is leaving in droves. Logging about the same. No work. Lucky if we work 5-6 months per year in last 10 years. All these neglected roads explains why no work. State never put out to bid
Heavy const industry is either broke or leaving WA State Bob due to your horrible policies & taxes. I am one of them. 24 plus others I spoke to are outta here. We have all built WA roads, bridges, schools, utilities for 30+ years in WA. Get a wheel barrow. Go fuck yourself.
More deflection from the income tax you unconstitutionally installed (talking about the State Constitution) and you just took away one of the attractions the state had was no income tax now that’s gone you are no better than California competing for the highest cost of living
How much more is it going to cost in gas taxes
King of Groomers in action
Yet you are raising taxes. Called income tax. Or does he know it will be defeated in court
Fuck you. I thought Marijuana tax was supposed to go to that. The roads in this state are so fucking bad and have been for way too fucking long.
What party let it get to this point?
If it does not raise taxes then I am okay with that.
“Without raising taxes” this is a parody account.
Highway funds are dedicated to highway purposes by the state Constitution so that isn’t a flex at all. Do you mean your predecessor spent too much on capital projects like a fancy new bridge to Oregon?
![MORE - DOGE Staffer Drops Bombshell After Bombshell About Inner Workings of IRS/Treasury Dept. DOGE insider Sam Corcos, special adviser to the U.S. Treasury Department, just unloaded a jaw-dropping exposé on the IRS and Treasury’s chaotic operations. He’s pulling the mask off, and it’s wild. 1]. IRS’ Massive IT Dept. Outstrips Midsize Banks by 175x Budget and 40x Staff “A typical midsize bank will have somewhere between 1 and 200 people in IT and they have an operations and maintenance budget in like the $20 million a year range. We have 8,000 people in IT, and our operations and maintenance budget is $3.5 billion a year. I don’t really know why yet.” 2]. Contractors Eat Up 80% of IRS’ Massive Operations Budget “I will tell that you 80% of that budget goes to contractors and licenses——We cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying a toll to all these contractors.” 3]. IRS’ Modernization Is a $3.7 Billion Money Pit “We have a $3.5 billion operations maintenance budget. We have $3.7 billion modernization effort within it. That’s a lot of budget and way beyond any reasonable cost for what you would expect at a private company for this.” 4]. Ghost Contracts Bleed Millions With No Accountability “You find contracts that are 10, 20, 30, $50 million and you just ask like, why are we doing this? And everyone’s just like, meh, I don’t know. And then you cancel it and then nothing happens. It’s just inertia, has just taken over.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1902908276662210592/ext_tw_video_thumb/1902901805648146432/pu/img/Jz6oYrCQa5rpJKa8.jpg)
