Washington state senate row over budget and booze power
A compilation of editorials attacks on Washington's 11th legislature detailing charges of wasteful spending, weak leadership, and a powerful liquor bloc that allegedly steered bills, thwarted local option laws, and shaped the session toward treasury and resource looting. It cites the “booze” organization, the 38 in the House and 21 in the Senate, and advocates voter action in future elections.
