Inslee's old-news State of the State
Plus de-fanging HOAs, toxic makeup, diverse juries and a tax break for the news
Gov. Jay Inslee’s team does a nice job of exploiting the budget-rollout process in December to frame his agenda1 for the coming session. That has the effect of kinda stepping on the State of the State speech nearly a month in advance. Tuesday’s speech was very much in that vein: There wasn’t much new news among the branches-of-government2 formalities.
