Well stated, and I agree 100%. Inslee seems to have a penchant for accepting freebies - e.g., using a nation-wide, cross-country Washington State Patrol security detail for an obviously futile vanity trip running for POTUS, to name one. I seem to also recall him saying he could do his governor's job from anywhere in the country just by conducting a 30-minute phone call each day.
