Puget Sound Partnership- creating a "sense of place" for our tax dollars

I've been railing on about the Puget Sound Partnership's money pit the size of the Pacific Ocean for a while now.

Apparently the State Auditor has an opinion here as well.

hat tip to the geeze

My major issue isn't the $3k in chapstick, the Apple notebooks, the $8k Nikon camera and other limosine liberal spending; this is like complaining about the expired license tabs on the burglar's car as he's driving off with all of your belongings. The real issue is the tens of millions of dollars being thrown into this political cesspool with no accountability whatsoever. Sorry grandkids, you've got 70% tax rates cuz David Dicks tossed your money into Puget Sound. Never mind the Sound never got cleaned up.

I do appreciate the auditor's findings and I will note the following:

1. I will be reinvesting a majority of my net income into my business for 2010. No vacations, no new furniture, no roof on the house, not even new plywood for the floor of my unfinished home office. More seriously this means putting off dental work. Thank goodness it's the back teeth eh?
2. My B&O taxes were just increased by a big chunk; EFFING OUCH! It's not cool to see my tax dollars spent on absolute garbage while I have to put off critical spending in my own household. Shared sacrifice apparently means the taxpayer sacrifices while politicians who vote for this spending spree get fleece jackets from the PSP.
3. I lack two crowns in my mouth because the associated dental bill will equal the PSP's chapstick budget.
