After an hour and a half of pomp and circumstance, Governor Gregoire's final State of the State Address has begun. Here we go ….
After acknowledging all the international businesses in Washington and identifying the great diversity across the state, the Governor reported the State of Washington State is"strong”. Unfortunately, the state of businesses and property owners in Washington is not strong.
The Governor touted the increased funding to K-12 education over the last eight years … wait, I thought we’ve been cutting that. It was a nice acknowledgement by the Governor that simply throwing more money at K-12 education won’t fix it. Oh wait, now the Governor says we have to fully fund a seamless K-12/Higher Ed program. Which one is it?
The Governor says"over the last two years we have funded the largest transportation construction plan in Washington’s history” … but we need more money? Folks, we need to spend transportation money on transportation projects, not environmental compliance.
