Gov. Inslee's $800M plan to tackle homelessness said to be a waste, top GOP lawmakers say

SEATTLE (KOMO) — One day after Gov. Jay Inslee announced some details of his ambitious $800 million plan to address homelessness in Washington state, several Republican lawmakers said Friday that the proposal is a waste of taxpayers' dollars and will spawn more bureaucracy.

That has led some lawmakers to say they have no plans to back the proposal in its current form. Some lawmakers said until the governor provides more clarity and certain revisions, the bill won’t go anywhere in the state legislature.

The bill is currently being debated in the state Senate, and there will also be action in the House but it could be a few more weeks until the bill's outcome is known.

“We’ve been throwing billions and billions of dollars at the problem, and it’s gotten worse," said state Sen. Chris Gildon, a Republican. "There’s this fear that we are going to create another governmental organization that’s going to be ineffective.”

2. I honestly don't give a fuck what a repuke has to say about homelessness

also, repukes wasted TRILLIONS on Afghanistan so they have ZERO room to talk about what is a WASTE OF MONEY

4. Well, that's Republicans for ya

"Let's spend $800 million to reduce homelessness in Washington State. It will cut down on dependency on government aid, increase employment and help end the practice of using underpasses as apartment complexes. And we can pay for it without raising taxes."

"Gee, that sounds kinda expensive...I'm going to oppose it because it's a waste of precious taxpayer resources."

"Let's have a $1.6 billion tax cut. It won't stimulate growth in the state, it won't increase employment and we'll pay for it by eliminating the sales tax exemption on groceries and raising car registration fees to $75 per year.."

"Great plan! Let's get started immediately!"
