POLITICS Republicans cry foul on Democrats' plan for $200 electricity bill rebates

When politicians dole out cash payments to voters around election time it tends to elicit scrutiny.

So it wasn’t surprising Tuesday when Republicans in the Legislature went on the attack over how House Democrats want to distribute $200 electricity bill rebates to Washington households.

“I think there will be even-minded people out there that will look at the way the House has done this and think ‘that looks a little bit like electioneering,’” Senate Minority Leader John Braun, R-Centralia, said at a morning press conference.

“Awfully fishy,” is how House Minority Leader Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn, described it.
