  On 4-29-23, the Seattle Times published: "Latest Legislative Session's efforts graded" and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

There are three main items of budget concern for our part-time state's legislators. Education, yes, they did address; Public Safety, somewhat addressed; and Infrastructure, our roads, bridges and their maintenance, not a word.

A simple drive around taking note of our ever-growing traffic problems, and a look at our overgrown and debris ridden road shoulders is proof enough. And don't give me this excuse that roadside greenery is cleaning up the environment. Wonder why all that gas taxed income to the state isn't even dedicated for infrastructure use? It's stashed away in the General Fund and allotted for legislative favored projects.

Hey Seattle Times, how about following that gas tax money and find out. Then find out if our expansive State Lotto system money is being totally used for Education, like it was intended.
