Perhaps tiring of sucking off Michael Dunmire’s teat, longtime Tim Eyman lackey Mike Fagan has announced his candidacy for Spokane City Council.
“While the city of Spokane braces itself for some lean budget years…the taxpayers of this city deserve to be protected from wanton taxation in order to maintain basic services,” Fagan said in a press release this morning.
Good for him. I mean, not the anti-tax bullshit, that’s a load of irresponsible crap. But good for him for attempting to be part of the process. I look forward to seeing how (whether?) Fagan intends to maintain basic services while reflexively opposing new revenues.
This thing with you and Eyman has been going on for too long.
Politically Incorrect, you’ve used too many words. Here’s the correct way to say it:
I find it interesting that Fagan thinks even the taxation which maintains basic services is “wanton.”
Basically, these people believe in no taxation, ergo no government, at all. That’s fine when you’re talking about a private citizen’s philosophical beliefs. But there’s no rationale for electing such a person to public office. That’s like hiring someone to run your business who believes your business shouldn’t even exist. That makes no sense at all! No one in private enterprise would do that, so why should voters do it? What I’m saying is voters should consider anti-government philosophical beliefs as a disqualifying attribute for holding public office.
ah so morning joe is union basher. this explains why howard schultz is giving him $10m.

Funny how these anti-government wingnuts always want government employment or government contracts whenever they need money.
Fagan is running against a great progressive candidate, Amber Waldref. We have a fantastic opportunity at electing a young progressive to the Spokane City Council and stick it to the Eyman crew by supporting Amber. http://voteamber.org/
N in Seattle @2,
Naw, I had it right the first time. Goldy and Eyman have spent too much time on each other. (Maybe they’re secret lovers!)
