http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/aplocal_story.asp?category=6420&slug=WA%20Tsunami%20LegislationOLYMPIA, Wash. -- A state lawmaker is proposing tax incentives for developing and building tsunami-resistant shelters on the state's Pacific shore.My oh my, it doesn't take very long for the pork barrel to start being passed around for a handout. How much you wanna bet this lawmaker thought of this idea after some company called him and said "hey, you know what we can make...."
What a crackpot idea. We ALREADY have an early warning system. We don't have millions of people living right on the coastline in houses built on stilts that don't meet our rather stringent building codes.
Oh yeah, that explains it, he's a REPUBLICAN. Surprise...
