SubscribeSpecial election called to fill Inslee's empty seat
KEN LAMBERT / AP
U.S. Reprentative Jay Inslee acknowledges supporters after announcing that he is resigning from Congress to focus full-time on running for governor of Washington state this fall.
Fiscally irresponsible
Editor, The Times:
It’s hard to believe that Jay Inslee would make a fiscally responsible governor when his decision to focus on his campaign efforts will cost the state an extra $770,000. Good luck “earning” my vote. [“Special election called to fill Inslee’s empty seat,” NWTuesday, April 3.]
— Kathleen Aycock, Edmonds
Obligation
I propose Jay Inslee pay the entire expense of $770,000 required to fill a vacancy that he created by not fulfilling his obligation to the taxpayers of Washington state.
