Yeah. Inslee talks a great game, but he understands the dynamics at play here very well, and he knows nothing will stop the money behind these projects. He's posturing WA to make MAXIMUM tax revenues from oil by rail. Once the revenue projections reach the magic number, the permits will be signed. I hope he sticks it to 'em good, because there's a high likelihood that we'll have at least one major mess to clean up by the time this thing's over, and that costs money. Lots of it.

Need another reason to believe Inslee will cave? Consider that the Legislature still hasn't put a dent in the shortfall for the McCleary Act....
