- Only your fear, timidity let him get away with it
Locke is fighting against implementing I-200 vote
- By John Tyson
- I pay close attention to the writhing caused by the approval of I-200, the most significant piece of civil rights legislation this state has passed in twenty years.
- Gov. Gary Locke cannot bring himself to say "equal treatment".
- Locke, I suspect, intends to continue his racist and sexist hiring and contracting policies in clear contempt for state law as long as his actions go unchallenged.
- Dennis Karras, Director of Washington's Dept. of Personnel has already promulgated guidelines that encourage the continuation of preferential treatment and creative ways of assuring diversity. We might get to use the quality of a candidate's voice to determine qualifications for a job. My, that ought to produce some capable candidates.
- Washington state does not get it folks.
- That the debate over I-200 is finished and time for implementation is here escapes your government. That I-200 means only the best qualified get hired doesn't register with your highly paid elected and appointed officials. Sending notice of intent to contract only to minority-and women-owned businesses isn't "preference" to these unbelievably manipulative "managers."
- Wake up, readers.
- Your government does not exist to provide services. Long ago the people who gravitated to government understood its power to provide wealth to people who have neither the skill, the attitude, or the work ethic to earn a decent living in the private sector.
- Now, redistribution of wealth is the only function of government.
- Any interested person may write me at my E-mail address below.
- I will be happy to provide you copies of Washington state directives and guidelines designed to circumvent I-200 and as well as the results of my complaints to the officials charged with investigating and eliminating discrimination.
- I-200 is only the beginning. The price of your trepidation to insist on its full implementation will be the failure to eradicate divisive racist and sexist hiring and contracting policies.
