Why is the solution to everything "pass a law"? there is an ocean of possible solutions to this problem yet people somehow always jump to "pass more laws" before other options are considered. I find that rather weird.
Of course, if you'd like to propose some less intrusive solution I'm sure both we and the people of Central Washington would be all ears.
It's because the way to fix a bad law is to pass another law. Otherwise you're saying we should keep the bad laws we have and work around it some other way.
Sometimes fixing the symptoms actually is better, but it's not surprising when people suggest changing the code.
