Gov. Inslee owes US Army, Feds an apology

[MYNORTHWEST] A week ago, Jay Inslee slammed our federal government for not doing enough for our state.

"The fact is, we cannot get as much help as we would like from the federal government", he said.

This was a week after the United States Army, under orders from the Trump administration, sent hundreds of soldiers to build a 250-bed hospital at the Century Link Field Events Center.

That hospital has sat empty ever since. Not one patient. On Wednesday, Inslee announced that he wanted the facility disassembled and sent back to the federal government. How much do you think think this assembly and disassembly is costing taxpayers? No one will give me a figure.

Earlier this week, Inslee announced that he is returning 400 ventilators to the feds that we don’t need.

A week ago, he said the administration wasn’t doing enough for our state. Now, it’s clear, they’ve done way too much. A person of integrity would apologize for his phony criticism. That apology, of course, will never come.

Also, given that we are killing our regional economy based on the data that led to the unnecessary hospital and ventilator requests, is it any wonder that skepticism is growing about the decisions that are wiping out the financial lives of business owners and the unemployed?

#2 On Wednesday, Inslee announced that he wanted the facility disassembled and sent back to the federal government.

Of course, once the quarantine is eased, covid may brake out again - will he ask for the hospital to be reassembled?

#3 It depends on how well the meds work and how readily they are supplied, g(r)omgoru. If, as I suspect, this becomes a normal treatable illness, no reason to rebuild the hospitals.

#4 IMO, he'll still criticize Drumpf, and his hospital back!

#5 Come November, it will be interesting just how politicized COVID-19 becomes. If this fades away like others flus before it, then all these Inslee types need to be drummed out of office toute suite, be they Gov's, Rep's, or Sen's.
