Gloomy Gus of the 17th LD GOP

The Columbian has an article about the Legislative session in which the reporter must have asked each member of the Clark County delegation to list their top successes and disappointment. For example, here is what Democratic Sen. Craig Pridemore (D-49th District--Vancouver:)

Sen. Craig Pridemore, D-Vancouver

Successes: Sponsored a successful climate change bill that sets limits on carbon emissions from power plants. Led preparation of the Senate's 2007-09 state operating budget and negotiations over the $33.4 billion conference committee budget that passed both chambers Sunday.

Disappointment: The willingness of the House to collaborate with Senate on key policy bills, which Pridemore called "abysmal ."

While the House-Senate relationship is going to be a hot topic in the interim, there's something else in the article worth noting.

Here's what was published for Rep. Jim Dunn, R-17th District (eastern Vancouver and Clark County:)

Rep. Jim Dunn, R-Vancouver

Successes: None listed.

Disappointments: Growth of the state budget over the past 10 years.

Oy. The guy can't even come up with something positive on his own behalf. The people wanted, and got, basic things like education and criminal justice funded to a better degree. Why does Dunn even bother to go to Oympia each session?
