Washington providing licenses for illegal immigrants likely causing shit. Been happening for a while. WA state was even a destination for illegal immigrants around the country to obtain a drivers license.
No way. It’s weird how incentives work.
Just out of spite.
Dems own all the courts in Washington. Corruption will go unpunished unless some federal money was illegally used by the state, and I don’t think that’s even on the DOJ priority list.
Yep, WA doesn't quite move the needle like say NY or CA.
This thread title is triggering af. Unnecessary and irrelevant to the topic. Especially fucked from an outdoorsman like you.
Be better

Guess I’m weird, but in all my years, I’ve never needed “staff” to help me hike any of the thousands of miles I’ve covered.
Try the Beaten Path trail to East Rosebud 3-day sometime, Ern. I could have drowned on that one in my mid-20s. Pack all your own shit and camp where you find flat ground.
Mang, I've hiked and backpacked thousands of miles. If you want to talk shit about public lands, you're walking on the fighting side of me.
I’m so glad your job is getting cut.
Fucking moochers.
Always swinging and missing. I don't understand the point.
So then you’re just a big advocate for government waste and fraud, and don’t want to eliminate what we can from it to make it more efficient and actually help those in need.
You’re just another Dem cultist, government worker or not. You’re not a complicated person to read.
👍 Nice
All a big lie. Read the end of the second article.
"The number of National Park Service employees in Washington who were fired is not yet known.'
More lefty lies with tears in their eyes.
How many park service employees are seasonal?
loser ass shit
Christ, how many fucking homeless people are in Oregon? If the deficit is $104 million, the total spend has to be a shitload more.
Would it just cheaper to give these hobos $40 or $50k each and call it good? The “services” aren’t doing shit to solve the issue.
Homeless usually just keep being homeless. I saw a few get sober and normal but it was only a few. The rest got dead generally. Either by drugs, alcohol or crime. Had a transient that we all liked he worked around the local church and they let him stay there. He was funny. Until one of the other transients stabbed him a5 times and smashed his head in for his SS money…
Need to throw them in jail to clean them up.... but that's mean... he'll Jail would be a step up for these people
per capita?
More than any other city in the US and by sheer numbers only behind Seattle, SF, LA, Chicago, and NY.
This is so fucked up. I find it hard to believe that there are ANY politicians who think this is responsible behavior in a free society. I thank God I don't live under an oppressive city government like Portland has. I would never allow me or family to be tortured like they do to people in Portland.
''The county says the deficit is primarily due to a decline in the predicted vs actual revenue from the Supportive Housing Services tax collected by the Metro tax district from higher-income residents and businesses.
The fund relies heavily on wealthy earners selling stock and earning dividends which are hard to predict. In past years revenue from the fund has come in a lot higher than expected resulting in carryover.''
The county was unable to provide a breakdown of those other revenue shortfalls. It also did not immediately respond to an email asking why it was relying on unstable one-time funding for long-term programs.
After spending hundreds of millions of dollars there are more homeless people in the Portland area than before. If you want more pigeons, put out more pigeon feed.
They don't spend the money on the homeless. The grift exists in state and local government too.
Things I get to vote on in local elections: Schools, libraries, zoo, parks, fire and police. What I don't get to vote on is money for illegals.
These dumb motherfuckers all spent COVID money like drunken sailors and then never adjusted their budgets back to pre-COVID free money times. Same shit happened in Spokane where the city now faces budget deficits.
Just reset the fucking budgets to 2019. It's not fucking rocket science.
