Re: “The Times recommends … Bob Ferguson for governor” [July 7, Opinion]:
I’m completely disillusioned with the editorial board’s virtually apologetic endorsement of Bob Ferguson for governor. In essence, the editorial board is endorsing a continuation of the established order and one-party rule on this state for the final 10-plus years that has resulted in virtually all the issues getting worse (affordability, homelessness, taxation, and many others.).
There’s additionally nothing in Ferguson’s latest document as state lawyer normal that builds any credibility that he’ll sort out crucial points akin to rising crime. The outdated Seattle Occasions editorial board — which really was extra balanced — would have endorsed Sen. Mark Mullet as the suitable (average) alternative. And but, the board brushed him off because of issues on electability whereas acknowledging that “his model of centrist politics is uncommon and badly wanted in Olympia.”
The board has subsequently bolstered the notion that each one native media kowtows to the Democratic political equipment on this state.
