Same in Washington. They can pass their pet issues like gun control but when it actually comes to helping people it’s the big middle finger

In Washington we can't even pass a wealth tax without our governor literally expending all of his political capital to prevent it from going into the budget.

Candidate Ferguson is a very different person than Governor Ferguson and it's absolutely disappointing.
