What Inslee's 'innovation' means

I'm always skeptical of usage of the word "innovation," as it invariably is a substitute for substance. Fran Moyer's letter of July 5 ("Innovation needed in governor's office") was no exception. To wit:

Jay Inslee has been a lock step follower of Pelosi, Reed and Obama, and all tax, borrow and spenders since he's been in Congress. And he was one of the proud sponsors of " Cash for Clunkers" legislation, which required borrowing some six billion dollars from China, but he hasn't mentioned this in quite awhile since it was an unmitigated disaster. Nor did Moyer.

If the electorate wants a silver and beguiling tongue, and a California-like bankrupt government, then by all means, vote for "innovative" Jay Inslee come November.
