Morty Comix # 2429

Morty Comix # 2429 was left inside an empty plastic case initially meant for a telephone directory in a phone booth in downtown Astoria, Oregon.

I originally was going to leave this one at an Astoria restaurant where I had lunch, but the waitress caught sight of the comic before I could plant it. So my evil plan was thwarted.

Astoria is a fun town and several local stories there contributed to my Bezango WA 985 series.

 PAY State Employees FAIRLY, WPEA

Curl has: Grays Harbor Stamp Works, 800.894.3830

I suspect this dates back to the 1989 Washington State surplus budget issue and Governor Gardner not honoring his political promises to the Washington Public Employees Association.

Booth Buster, 3%

Washington State Governor Booth Gardner, a Democrat, angered his political base when he failed to make good on his promise to raise state worker salaries even though the public coffers has an unexpected windfall. This button suddenly surfaced and was handed to me by member of a labor union.

This button was playing off the popularity of both of the Ghostbusters movies. The original was released in 1984 (the year Gardner was elected), and Ghostbusters II was currently out when this anti-Gardner image was made.
