Give it back
OLYMPIA, SEPTEMBER 31, 2011 - Reports of positive
developments continue to pour in as the result of the 2007
legislature's decision to give back the state's surplus to tax-
payers. Not only has the state pared government in the current
recession but many private individuals, businesses and organi-
zations that followed the state's example have reaped the
benefits of living hand to mouth.
With the state enjoying a healthy economy in 2007 that was
producing a $2-billion surplus of tax money, the conservative
view would have been to put money away in reserve for the
inevitable future recession. Instead the liberal view won out in
the legislature that year and every Washington adult received
a check for $416, a move meant to keep the vigorous economy
going through purchases of $60 Sonics tickets, $3 lattes, $2.50
gasoline, ski passes, plasma TVs and other life essentials.
When the 2010 recession hit, Governor Dino Rossi proposed
and the legislature passed a 2011 budget calling for 10 percent
across-the-board cuts in all programs except two. The excep-
tions were prison building, which received a 50 percent boost in
the face of' cuts in education and social programs, and the hated
Department of Ecology, whose budget was cut by 20 percent
rather than 10. "This is a responsible budget with no new taxes
that is the best we can do considering what the liberals did to
us in 2007," the governor said in his budget-signing statement.
The education budget, which takes the lion's share of state
money, was cut by about a billion dollars despite the whining of
the Washington Education Association, and tuition at the
state's four-year colleges rose to $29,000 per year. The date for
students needing to pass the math portion of the Washington
Assessment of Student Learning to receive a high-school
diploma was pushed back to 2054 despite the whining of the
Washington Roundtable.
Trimming the parks budget had a few minor local implica-
tion. Twanoh and Belfair state parks were permanently closed
and maintenance at all parks was slashed. The Department of
Health's cuts included curtailing shellfish testing. The Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife stocked lakes with fewer fish and
laid off some game agents. The Department of Ecology shaved
funding for programs to arrest pollution of Hood Canal. The
state also whittled down funding for promotion of tourism.
The Department of Licensing chopped its crews overseeing
such professionals as doctors, dentists, nurses and real-estate
brokers, and the Department of Social and Health Services
increased caseloads by 13 percent for its employees working
with fbster children. That department's child abuse, aging,"
child support, welfare, medical assistance and vocational
rehabilitation divisions took the state's standard reduction.
The state patrol did not replace retiring troopers. The
Department of Transportation, hit with lower gas-tax revenues
simultaneously as prices topped $4 a gallon, proposed a new
completion date for the Belfair Bypass: 2027.
Meanwhile, businesses, individuals and organizations also
benefited from the philosophy of giving away their surpluses:
• Among the many businesses out of business was The
Journal. "We made a 5 percent profit last year and decided to
return the money to the advertisers and subscribers because
we liked the state model so much," said the publisher. "This
year, with no savings, higher costs and static revenue, we
couldn't meet our newsprint, utility, postage and payroll costs.
No big deal, though. We enjoyed the $416 worth of lattes in
2007 while they lasted."
• Many Washington residents who followed the state's lead,
such as Mandy Lifebotes, found themselves homeless. "I really
liked the idea of' operating on the edge with no reserves," said
the Seattle resident. "Anything I made that we didn't spend
that month I gave back to my employer, and my wife, a
waitress, returned her tips to her customers. Then somebody in
India bid for my job and got it. We couldn't make it. Now we
have the privilege of pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps."
• The Washington Policy Center was among organizations
going under. "We have never believed in reserves," explained
the think tank's Paul Guppy, who suggested the tax rebate in
2006. "We run a bare-bones budget and return all donations we
don't need. Contributions fell for us last year in the recession,
decimating the place. But we'll be back in the future with more
liberal suggestions." The state give-away plan was music to the
ears of" the Seattle Symphony, among the others to go bank-
rupt. It gave back its endowment to its benefactors so they
icould spend the money and found itself unable to perform.
• Some churches such as First Agape Fellowship in Tacoma
evaporated in the recession. It gave members' contributions
back to them to boost the economy. "Joseph had it all wrong,
and we realized that in 2007," said Reverend Willie Nilly. "The
government's job isn't to protect people in tough times. It's to
foster a feast now, not put up barns to store money."
• Several hospitals and other medical facilities that gave
away their cash reserves to their patients closed during 2010
and 2011. An exception was the new urgent-care center/morgue
in Belf'air. Even though it gave away its reserves, it did a brisk
business handling casualties from the NASCAR track.

Yard decorations disappear
Editor, The Journal:
Christmas 2005 we put up the
same outside decorations that we
had used for the previous five
years. Included were small wind-
mills with Christmas decorations
that said, "Merry Christmas" and
"Happy Holidays."
Outside, year-round, were a
large mushroom with three lepre-
chauns and the back end of a gray
cat up against the concrete that
made it appear it was going
through the concrete. These items
were made by me at a pretty good
price and time. We had a hanging
monkey in a tree. On our front
porch was a small beagle dog fbr
which we have different costumes
ibr the seasons and celebrations.
These are gone. The windmills
disappeared Christmas 2005. The
monkey disappeared last spring.
The mushroom, leprechauns and
cat disappeared this past sum-
mer, and the beagle disappeared
Christmas Eve Day.
Our last name was printed, in
permanent marker, on these
items. We don't know if it was
child or adult who took these
things from us, but we don't un-
derstand the mentality of child or
adult who would steal these
things from someone's front yard.
If" they were taken for the thrill of
destroying them, we don't under-
stand that mentality either.
We simply don't understand
anybody who would steal or de-
stroy others' property simply for
the thrill of doing it, and we hope
they realize that some way, some
day, they will end up paying dear-
ly tbr their actions.

Surge means more casualties
Editor, The Journal:
There can be only one result of
sending more troops to Iraq: more
U.S. military casualties. And
more Iraqi casualties, even fur-
ther destruction of Iraq and of
U.S. image in the world.
What is the objective of" a
surge? More unnecessary deaths
(br the vanity of the unelected
President. The so-called "insur-
gents" will disappear during the
surge and reappear just as strong
or stronger when the surge troops
are removed.
There can be only one result of
approving more money we don't
have to military spending in Iraq:
even more debt on which we will
all pay interest for the rest of' our
lives and those of our kids and
grandkids.
Congress must blow the whis-
tle and stop this out-of-control
run-amok administration from
even more egregious war crimes.
Bring our troops home now. All
of them.

I sent out Christmas cards this
year that I got as a gift from the
U.S. Navy Memorial in Washing-
ton, D.C. I mailed them all and
kept one as a memento souvenir
card tbr Christmas 2006. / '
What I like about my cards is
the message of "Merry Christ-
mas" in 10 languages, a photo of a
soldier or Marine in field uniform
hugging his wife or girlfriend,
probably upon arrival home in
America. She is also holding a
bouquet of white and red flowers.
The message on the bottom is,
"Grateful for every safe return."
inside the card is the greeting,
"May this holiday season bring
you peace and joy now and
throughout the new year!"
1 will finish this now and say
"Merry Christmas," "Joyeux
Nol," "Feliz Navidad," "Fr6hliche
Weinnachten," "Stretan Bozic,"
"Kala Christouyenna," "Sarbatori
Vesele," "Gladelig Jul," "Sawadee
Peemai" and "Boun Natale" to all
the world, not "Happy Holidays!"
The American Civil Liberties
Union is not known in the rest of
the world, only in our America,
where most of us baby boomers
had proper upbringings and
teachings from our parents,
teachers, priests, ministers, pas-
tors and peers. They taught us
the true meaning of Christmas -
"Christ" "mass" and "Jesus is the
reason tbr the season"!
In Mason County at least one
person or thmily can understand
each of the nine tbreign languages
that mean "Merry Christmas!"
There is a wide diversity of ethnic
cultures, languages and countries
represented by tbreigners now liv-
ing in Mason County, USA. When
they say, "Merry Christmas" in
their own native tongue, the
ACLU wouldn't understand it!

Spread burial costs over time
Editor, The Journal:
In last week's Journal a letter
appeared from a Mr. Jay Hupp
("Underground lines cost more")
and it expressed his views on un-
derground electric lines as op-
posed to above-ground lines. My
neighborhood has underground
lines but is served from lines
along Lake Cushman Road, High-
way 119, most of which are un-
derground, except for a stretch
between mile markers 6 and 7.
At least once every year, dur-
ing windstorms or winter snows,
there are trees that fall on these
above-ground lines and create a
power interruption for our neigh-
borhood. This year, during the re-
cent storm, we lost power for 60
hours one time and then 30 hours
a few days later.
My home is designed to operate
on reliable electric power. But,
during the recent interruptions
the air temperature inside my
home went down to 40 because
there was a thick layer of snow
outside and. the outside air tem-
perature was 30, coupled with
high winds. We lost the use of our
lights, heating, cooking equip-
ment and then water. Our com-
munity water supply system up
here is powered by electric
pumps, and the power to it was
also interrupted. We used our
wood-burning fireplace nonstop to
get to 40 degrees.
Mr. Hupp is concerned about
the cost of" burying these lines
that every year are broken down
by falling trees. The cost of bury-
ing those lines should be spread
out over time just like the
unplanned cost of repairing the
widespread tree-downed lines
when storms occur. If storm re-
pair costs are budgeted then use
the money that would be saved
from the reduction of the repairs
budget to pay for burial of lines.
We lost the use of our home
during these prolonged outages.
It seems that if those above-
ground lines had been buried 10
years ago PUD 3 could have
saved a lot of money they have
spent making after-hours repairs
in severe weather.
Finally, we were told by the
PUD 3 people that because the
above-ground lines only serve a
few people up here, we were last
on their repair priority. If the
lines were buried, none of this
would have been a concern.
Spread out the cost over years
and get on with burying those
last miles of lines.
It seems that the electrical
utility service is still operating
the same as it did with elevated
powerlines some 75 years ago. We
want reliable electrical power and
without doubt the buried lines
are far less exposed to falling
trees than overhead lines on poles.
If not, then why is it that buried
lines are considered progress in
the electric utility industry?
