The panel is joined by Mike Lux of
Open Left to discuss his new book
The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came To Be. Some introspection about bloggers, journalists, and progressive politics happens.
Next, the panel collectively holds their nose and looks at the “situation” in California. Has
Prop 13 lived up to its promise? What does the California situation tell us about the future in other states with pending TABOR-like legislation? Would a successful I-1033 turn Washington state into a dysfunctional disaster,
à la California?
The conversation turns to
pork. And how did your state's Senators vote on the F-22s that both Obama and the Military didn’t want? At least we received money for ferry system infrastructure. Speaking of transportation infrastructure, Seattle’s light rail service started this week. Will people ride it and actually enjoy it? Or is there a telling (one-day) trend toward low ridership?
Goldy was joined by
Seattle P-I columnist
Joel Connelly, Mike Lux of
Open Left, and
Effin’ Unsound’s &
Horsesass’s Carl Ballard
