Why L&I and Local Code Enforcement Need a Serious Overhaul

Washington State is a hub of innovation and hard work, yet our local economy faces a silent saboteur: our own Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) and an overreaching system of local code inspections. For too long, both have drifted from their core missions, evolving into regulatory behemoths that stifle small businesses, erect barriers for skilled tradespeople, and ultimately, hold our economic potential hostage.

Instead of supportive agencies dedicated to safety and worker well-being, L&I and local code enforcement often operate as formidable gatekeepers. This isn't just about protecting workers; it's about protecting entrenched special interests, particularly large labor unions and lobbying corporations, at the expense of the very people who drive our local economy: independent contractors, small business owners, local tradespeople, and even individual homeowners.

The sheer volume and complexity of licensing, compliance, and local code requirements have become astronomical. We're seeing qualified individuals, rich with practical experience, unable to enter the workforce without navigating a labyrinth of red tape and shouldering thousands of dollars in often unnecessary costs. The irony? Many L&I inspectors, tasked with enforcing these elaborate rules, often lack direct, real-world experience in the trades they oversee. I've witnessed countless instances where the on-the-ground expertise of a seasoned handyman or contractor far surpasses what L&I deems "preferred" or "qualified."

And it doesn't stop there. Local code inspections, particularly when they dictate what homeowners can or cannot do on their own property, have become little more than an intimidation tactic. This overreach is often pushed by lobbying corporations looking to force unnecessary services on people, padding the pockets of special interests, raising revenue for the city, and, frankly, violating the personal space and autonomy of homeowners. Determining what goes on inside a person's private property, absent clear and present danger, steps far beyond the bounds of reasonable governance.

This isn't a call to dismantle worker protections or abandon genuine safety standards – far from it. It's a plea for balance. L&I's true purpose should be to ensure genuine safety and foster a thriving workforce, while local code enforcement should focus on true public safety concerns, not serve as an arbitrary enforcer for powerful lobbies or an insurmountable barrier to economic growth for small enterprises and the personal freedoms of property owners.

My message is clear:

It’s time to rein in L&I’s unchecked authority and the overreach of local code enforcement. It’s time to dismantle the unnecessary regulatory chokeholds that suffocate innovation, opportunity, and personal liberty. It’s time to refocus these agencies on their fundamental purpose: truly supporting workers, genuinely promoting public safety, and creating an environment where all Washington businesses can flourish, and homeowners can exercise reasonable autonomy over their own property, instead of being stifled or intimidated.

Washington deserves a system that champions everyone – not just the well-connected with the deepest pockets and strongest lobbyists.

Today’s stock market isn’t the market of the 1920s. With 401(k)s and retirement accounts dominating how Americans save, the modern market functions more like a massive national investment portfolio than a gambling table. Institutional money, passive funds, and long-term retirement flows shape the market far more than day-to-day speculation.

That’s why short-term drops, scare headlines, and sudden swings are mostly noise—and that noise exists largely to shake out investors who don’t understand the long-term game.

If you truly want to build wealth, you have to step back and see the bigger picture:

Invest in quality companies with real earnings, real products, and real demand.

Hold high-paying dividend ETFs to hedge against inflation and generate passive income.

Think in decades, not days.

Market dips become opportunities, not disasters. Volatility becomes leverage, not fear. And consistent investing—month after month—turns the market from a casino into a wealth engine.

This is how regular Americans build stability, retire with dignity, and create generational wealth. Ignore the noise. Stick to quality. Let time do the heavy lifting.

MYNorthWest published an article that appears to downplay the City of Everett’s failure to respond, claiming the issue was resolved shortly after the leak was detected. Yet here we are on Day 6 of the pipeline closure. This is exactly how the local propaganda machine operates—shaping the narrative instead of addressing the problem.

Everett Voted for Higher Taxes — And Now We’re All Paying the Price

In the last election, Everett chose higher property taxes. Every candidate who ran on fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, affordability, and government accountability lost. And now we’re seeing the consequences.

Higher local taxes inflate the cost of everything.
Your city council is directly responsible for increases in property taxes, utility rates, and even portions of sales tax. When these go up, the cost of living follows—rent rises, mortgage payments rise, and basic services become more expensive. No subsidy can offset the reality that when government costs increase, the consumer always pays.

This isn’t about tariffs or national politics. Everett’s inflation problem started long before Trump, Biden, or COVID. Property values have doubled since 2019, which means the city now collects twice the revenue from those taxes. Yet somehow, we still don’t have a balanced, transparent, or responsible budget.

Instead, we see:

Millions spent on bathroom projects

Over $20 million in overruns on the City Hall restoration

Massive over-budget spending on bridges and road construction

A trail of waste, mismanagement, and financial inefficiency

We are being squeezed from every direction while the city claims it’s broke.

And to make matters worse, local and national media—from the Everett Herald to KOMO, KING 5, CNN, and Fox—often act as gatekeepers rather than watchdogs, amplifying narratives that distract from the real issue: our city’s financial mismanagement.

Residents deserve transparency. We deserve accountability. And we deserve leaders who understand that affordability starts with responsible government—not higher taxes.

Everett’s Path to Financial Freedom: A Modern Investment Strategy for a Stronger Future

A Long-Form Policy Blueprint

By Dr. Bill Wheeler

Everett is a city with extraordinary potential — a major aerospace center, a gateway to the Pacific, and a diverse, resilient community. Yet for more than a decade, our financial reality has been the same: recurring deficits, rising taxes, fee hikes, deferred maintenance, reduced services, and emergency “fixes” that solve nothing.
Our city’s budget problem is not a failure of our people, our workers, or our potential.

It is a failure of structure — a financial model trapped in the past.
For years, Everett has functioned as a tax-dependent government whose survival relies almost entirely on property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, and fees. This system creates two outcomes, both harmful:

1. Residents are constantly asked to pay more, even as wages stagnate and costs rise.

2. The city never builds wealth, meaning deficits keep returning, no matter how many cuts are made.

Simply put: Everett is stuck in a 20th-century funding model while the world has moved on.

It’s time for Everett to adopt a strategy that reflects today’s economic realities — one that builds wealth rather than consuming it.
________________________________________

1. The Core Proposal: The Everett Public Investment & Prosperity Fund (EPIPF)

This plan establishes a city-managed investment fund designed to create long-term, stable revenue through diversified financial investments — the same proven strategies used by many of the

world’s most financially successful public entities.
This is not speculative or risky. It is a disciplined, regulated, transparent model based on:

• The Alaska Permanent Fund
• The Texas Permanent School Fund
• Washington’s own investment pool (LGIP)
• Major municipal pension systems
• International sovereign wealth funds like Norway’s

These funds generate billions in annual returns, reduce dependence on taxation, and stabilize governments for generations.
Everett can do the same.
________________________________________

2. How the Fund Works

The EPIPF would be seeded using existing revenue streams — no tax increases, no additional burden on residents.

Initial capital would come from:

• Long-term leases of city-owned property
• Revenue from the redevelopment of underutilized land
• A share of revenue from major public-private partnerships
• Operational savings identified through independent audits
• Surpluses from strong revenue years
• Strategic monetization of non-essential assets
• Voluntary contributions from philanthropic partners or institutional investors

Once funded, the EPIPF would invest in:

• Broad-market ETFs
• Municipal and federal bonds
• Stable long-term equities
• Infrastructure ETFs
• Lower-risk diversified funds

These are the same tools used by conservative institutional investors across the country.
________________________________________

3. Safeguards and Oversight

A public investment fund must be transparent and protected. The EPIPF would include:

• Independent financial oversight board
• Quarterly public reporting
• Annual third-party audits
• Legally defined risk tolerances
• Strict rules prevent the use of the fund for political agendas
• Separation from the city’s operating budget
• A requirement that only returns — not principal — may be used for city services

This ensures long-term stability and prevents misuse.
________________________________________

4. What This Achieves

With consistent investing and disciplined management, the EPIPF would allow Everett to:

✔ Reduce reliance on property taxes

A growing portion of city revenue would come from returns, not extraction.

✔ Build multi-generational financial strength

Everett would finally grow wealth instead of living year-to-year.

✔ Avoid future deficits

Market-based returns create predictable, sustainable revenue streams that stabilize budgets.

✔ Improve services without raising costs

Better infrastructure, public safety, and housing solutions become achievable without burdening residents.

✔ Make Everett competitive and future-ready

A city with its own investment fund attracts talent, business, development, and opportunity.

This approach replaces the endless cycle of taxes and cuts with a financially mature model used globally by successful governments.
________________________________________

5. Why Everett Must Make This Change Now
Everett cannot continue patching shortfalls with tax increases and hoping for different results. Our structural deficit will not disappear through traditional budgeting.

Every year we delay, residents pay more — and receive less.
But if Everett begins investing today, within 5 to 10 years, the city could generate millions in annual returns. Within a generation, Everett could fully transform its financial landscape.

Everett deserves leadership that:

• Thinks long-term
• Builds wealth rather than consuming it
• Defends taxpayers instead of exploiting them
• Uses modern tools instead of outdated methods
• Understands how real markets work
• Has the courage to break from failed traditions

This plan does exactly that.

Mark your calendars!

Scott Presler is coming to WA to promote and galvanize support for Initiative Measure No. IL26-126, a citizen-led effort that would require Voter ID and Proof of Citizenship to vote.

“Scott Presler inspires people to participate, but also to improve our election systems,” says WAGOP Chairman Rep. Jim Walsh, the initiative’s author and sponsor. “That’s what the Washington Voter ID Initiative does. And that’s what Presler is doing by supporting this initiative.”

We need everyone to turn out at one of seven super signing events with a bonus of a meet and greet with Scott Presler. No one has done more to GOTV than Scott himself.

Funko will have no choice but to close — Everett voted for socialism, and this is the result.

Socialism taxes everything, driving up costs across the board — rent being one of the biggest. It’s all about generating revenue for “free” programs so politicians can hand out benefits in exchange for votes. That’s socialism, plain and simple.

Funko’s struggles aren’t some mystery of “market trends.” They’re the direct result of extremely high overhead, excessive taxation, and inflated labor costs — all policies created and supported by the very people Everett voters put in charge.

Elections have consequences. The freeloading voters, the absent voters, and the corrupt city council with its incoming socialists are about to get a harsh dose of reality. Funko is just the beginning — more businesses will follow.

Funko, an Everett-based company that manufactures pop culture collectibles, sounded the alarm, stating that the future of the company is at stake.

The Mandate is Clear: We Demand Accountability and Constitutional Integrity!

We didn't vote for a party; we voted for a movement. The mandate given to those in power was not about Democrat or Republican—it was about re-establishing the foundational principles our founding fathers intended and following the Constitution.

Yet, we see a lack of action on critical issues:

J6 Accountability: Where are the convictions for the 275 federal agents allegedly involved?

Pipe Bomb Suspect: We demand full transparency regarding the suspect found to be a former Capital Police officer now reportedly working for the CIA.

Insider Trading: Why are there still no arrests for insider trading in Congress?

Election Integrity: We face critical doubts due to millions of illegal votes and a lack of enforcement.

Taxation & Overreach: Stop the enforcement of unconstitutional state-level carbon taxes.

Justice Delayed: Release the complete Epstein files immediately.

The people who voted you in gave you a clear and non-negotiable directive: Follow the Constitution, restore integrity, and deliver justice.
