Common good: Sacrificed at the altar of liberty?

Republican governor candidate Loren Culp and his followers say that they are tired of Gov. Jay Inslee’s health directives infringing on their personal liberty.

Remember this, Mr. Culp: Your precious liberty is only possible because the rest of us care about the common good.

A vote for Culp is a vote to throw the vulnerable under the bus.
