This may not appear to have much to do with the airport. It is extremely unusual for any WA state elected representative to express frustration someone in their own party--particularly someone as powerful as <a href="https://senatedemocrats.wa.gov/liias/">Senator Marko Liias (D) 21st LD</a>. But Democrats have had control of the legislatures so long it is inevitable that cracks will occur. We applaud any legislator with the courage to speak out in what has become a monoculture.
