This is how a decentralized country is supposed to work. Instead of lobbying the egregious mutant fuckheads in DC, with zero accountability and 100% corruption and bullshit, just get together and tax yourselves!
Now there's no way for Satan's BFF Coburn to mock the grant, no way for ArcherDanielsMidland to block it because it decreases their monopoly, no way for Commie bureaucrats to rake off half the money for their own Dubai vacations. ¶ 3:36 AM

Washington's apple and pear growers have voted to donate $27 million over the next eight years to support tree fruit research at WSU.

“We grow the best quality tree fruit in the world, but we need to be ready to respond to a changing marketplace, unknown pests and diseases and other uncertainties we can’t anticipate,” said Dan Newhouse, director of the state Department of Agriculture.
