Jay Inslee wants 1.1 Billion dollars to study the killer whale population when our schools, throughout the State are in trouble. The same guy who wanted to add another .56-.75 cents per gallon on gas, as well as adding additional surcharges on everybody monthly electric bills... To help reduce the carbon footprint on the State, which isn't that bad at all with all the other environmental protection laws that are on our books... Which was soundly defeated at the ballot box last November. Also, if you're living in the most heavy populated part of the State, Western Washington/Seattle metro area, be prepared to pay an insane yearly fee to register your car/truck to help fund projects that won't be completed until 2050... If at all!!! Case and point, for a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I paid $650.00 for the ONE YEAR registration on this ONE non commercial, family vehicle.
Plus, he is super soft on crime, which is another long story, causing the lowering of the QoL.
Basically, he's a train wreck and causing the working middle class families to flee the State, which is fine in his books since they're being replaced with the super rich, high tech workers and the homeless since the police will no longer arrest them for any type of property crimes or drug related offenses, which has destroyed the quality of life in this once great State since it's basically a free for all for the homeless since they know they will get a free pass.
Trust me and many MANY more Washington State residents that he no friend to the working middle class families making between $50Ks to $100Ks a year But!! He loves being in the pockets of the super rich and the powerful high tech industries.
Please research on your own before you fall for the BS about him being the greatest thing since sliced bread... Because he's not. Plus, I bet he couldn't even win his own home State in a national general election.
And yes, I'm planning to put my home on the market and move to a more common sense State within the next two years since I can't keep up with all the yearly tax increases... We currently pay one of the highest sales tax in the nation, but Inslee supports keeping the high sales tax rates WHILE introducing a State income tax for everybody. They try to push it as only for the super rich, but that code for within two to three years, everybody!!
Don't believe the hype!! Research on your own and come to your own conclusions!! But if you love high taxes on the working class, extra "surcharges" on using energy, soft on hardcore criminals and spending billions on useless projects, than he's your man!!

To say nothing of embracing criminal aliens, places for drug addicts to shoot up and giving up your civil rights. In other words-right up there with the other far-left clowns running for the Democratic primary.
I think every elected official in the country with a D after their name is going to throw their hat into the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination race.
I'm in WA, where Inslee is governor. I doubt that he has a chance at the Democratic nomination, but of course I never thought Trump had a chance at the GOP nomination. Inslee is often called 'Sleepy Jay' around here. He's a very listless, uninspiring speaker who makes Jeb Bush look like a dynamo.
My guess is that he is running for Energy Secretary or some such thing.

I watched Jay Inslee on Maddow and found this candidate checked a lot of boxes.
