I buy all the gas I can in Idaho, which doesn't have the Christine tax.

You draw the line when someone is being personally enriched, (especially at public expense) to influence public policy. Carlson and Wilbur don't own KVI and weren't receiving money from the No New Gas Tax organization when they voiced their opinions on public airwaves. They were exercising their right to have an opinion. That is not against the law and the Wa. St. SC agrees.......rightfully so. I guess Michael Vaska, as Seattle's representative, doesn't think that should be allowed. Like most liberals, Vaska must think the average citizens political speech must be monitored and regulated. Too bad, so sad! Michael Vaska, a private attorney from Seattle who was hired to represent the cities and counties in the case, said he was disappointed at the court's interpretation of the media exemption. But, he said, it remains an unresolved dispute that will flare up again in other states. "It's an important issue," Vaska said. "Where do you draw the line?"
