Refusing to address issues and his proposals with much specificity - Dino Rossi running state government like a business might very well look like the Huffpo article below.

 

It's the sort of "conservative" logic that fits right n with Rossi's rhetoric about correcting how citizens' taxes might be wasted. It also coincides with Rossi's historical voting patterns on social programs and services in the State Legislature.

 

It's one thing to represent a single legislative district according to a promised political philosophy.

 

It's another to   propose sitting in the governor's chair and pretending the affluence and political preference of Sammamish is typical in the rest of the state.

 

That sort of affluence moves down to WIllapa Bay when it retires and wants cheaper housing and a view.

 

Of course the non-affluent and not-so-gullible Willapa Bay and Pacific County voter just might be smarter than Dino about the proper place of government and economic politics.

From HUFFPO:

Under Sarah Palin's administration, Wasilla cut funds

that had previously paid for the medical exams and began charging victims or their health insurers the $500 to $1200 fees.

 

Although Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella wrote USA Today earlier this week that the GOP vice presidential nominee

 

"does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test...To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice,"  

 

Palin, as mayor, fired police chief Irl Stambaugh and replaced him with Charlie Fannon, who with Palin's knowledge, slashed the budget for the exams and began charging the city's victims of sexual assault.

 

The city budget documents demonstrate Palin read and signed off on the new budget.

 

A year later, alarmed Alaska lawmakers passed legislation outlawing the practice.
