Dave ..I know you can't resist every chance to blame everything on Republicans but I think the larger question should be the corruption of our political process by big money. Democrats have their pockets stuffed with casino money as well.

Remember that anything in Washington State concerning sports fishing or shell fishing that involves the legislature will not go anywhere if anyone even mentions the tribes. So already in this Democratically controlled state the tribes control the agenda. The money is flowing to keep the advantage in the tribes' court. So if the tribes are spreading money around it is going where it will do them some good regardless of party.
