The so-called defenders of democracy hope to reject the will of Washington voters who make it clear: they don't want to ban natural gas.
With the support of the Washington Democratic Party, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, King County Executive Dow Constantine and a number of environmentalist groups have compiled a lawsuit to overturn a natural gas initiative.
In supporting Initiative 1108, which prevents Democrats in the state legislature from banning natural gas, voters made their voices loud and clear: stop the overreach and let people decide what’s best for their homes and businesses. But Democrats, in their infinite arrogance, have decided that voters are too dumb to know what’s good for them.
The hypocrisy is astounding. These are the same Democrats who constantly cry about threats to democracy — whether it’s Donald Trump contesting an election result or Republicans passing election integrity measures. But when it’s the Left ignoring the will of the people? It’s just business as usual; they’re just doing what’s right in restoring power to Seattle, which is supposed to dictate statewide decisions.
Look no further than Seattle’s housing crisis to see the real impact of their policies. Skyrocketing utility costs, overregulation and government overreach have made it nearly impossible for families to afford living in the city. And now Democrats want to force a natural gas ban that will make heating homes and running businesses even more expensive .This natural gas lawsuit is not only an affront to democracy but a dangerous precedent.
