Hillary Clinton Praises Gov. Gregoire

“I applaud Washington for its efforts to hold the Bush Administration accountable. Governors and state legislatures across the country are trying hard to cover their children, but are getting no help from this Administration. President Bush has been making it harder for states to provide coverage to families that need help. It’s time for the President to stop playing politics with children’s health care.”

Gregoire saves Flexcar from taxes for the time being

Gregoire asked the State Dept of Revenue to consider not taxing Flexcar - "I believe our tax code should act as an incentive, not a hindrance, to innovation."

The issue is not resolved yet but for the time being the tax has been deferred.

"Gov. Chris Gregoire, disagreeing with fellow Democrat Ron Sims, said Monday that public safety and the Puget Sound economy could take a big hit if the region's voters don't approve a tax package for transit and highways." from Komo4

I am happy to see Gregoire voicing her support for Proposition 1
