Washington, Oregon, California join pact for COVID-19 collaboration

[Haggis for Breakfast]

47. And I am so happy to live in Washington

and I LOVE my GOV. Jay Inslee, you are the epitome of leadership. You and Gavin Newsom and Kate Brown have given ALL of us West Coasters hope in this dark and challenging time.

When I was in grad school, we often spoke of what it would take for the West Coast states to bond like this, and challenge the politicals. We always thought it would be reparian (water) rights, as water out here is such a complex matter - who has it, where it comes from, how it gets from point A to point B, who gets and who pays for it.

But COVID-19 certainly has the ability to fracture this nation like nothing before. I believe that when all of this is over, the fissures sown by the administration are going to lay the groundwork for a very un-United States.
