It turns out that light rail creates exponential growth for communities that are on the line, attracts new businesses in a way that trickle-down never did, allows for the construction of many more walking spaces, and gets cars off the road, leading to fewer drunk driving deaths and accidents. #Washington https://www.kuow.org/stories/light-rail-is-helping-mountlake-terrace-find-its-heart

Inspectors found mold and meat residue at a Boar's Head plant. The USDA had taken no enforcement action in the past year. It's time to dismantle the Reagan legacy once and for all. There are too many people in government who think that government is the problem; therefore, if I act, I am part of the problem.
