Ask the Queen Why She Hates Pullman

Dino Rossi and Queen Christine have both agreed to take questions from YouTube users and answer them. The deadline to submit video questions is August 12. More info can be found here.

Someone needs to ask the Queen why she supports the destruction of the Pullman economy. Her reinstitution of the death tax and the Department of Ecology's imposition of Phase II stormwater permitting, even though Pullman is a "bubble" community, threaten to drive future Schweitzer Engineering Labs expansion out of town.

Ed Schweitzer: SEL Will Double in Growth, But Not in Pullman

According to Ed, Washington is not competitive because of Mrs. Gregoire's overregulation and taxes, such as the death tax, the Department of Early Learning, which has made getting child care difficult for some SEL employees, and Ecology's new stormwater regulations, which will cost SEL $20,000 a year. He had some very harsh words for the Queen.

Schweitzer Engineering would like to grow in Washington, but the company, Pullman's larget private employer, is looking at states like Virginia and countries like Mexico instead.

Ed would like to change his mind if Dino gets elected. Think about that when you cast your ballot in November.
