Hooray for Barbara Bailey and Chris Strow! They resisted temptation and voted against the increase in the gas tax when the price of gas is already at historic highs, at the start of the summer driving season and when Washington is already among the most expensive states to buy gas in the country.

Too bad the majority party and their election-stealing governor didn’t do the same. I guess when Democrats say they are the party of the “little guy,” they mean they are the party that sticks it to the “little guy.”
