Last of the bills signed/vetoed, Gregoire launches campaign…
More from today’s paper:
Wrapping up the last of more than 300 bills, Gov. Chris Gregoire on Tuesday signed dozens of legislative measures, including a supplemental budget and a controversial bill aiming to limit toxic chemicals in toys.
But the governor also wielded her veto pen, cutting about $15 million from the budget, including $500,000 for the Airway Heights wastewater treatment plant. Gregoire listed the project as one of dozens “that, although valuable, are not essential to do right now.”
Now the campaigning — fundraising, a bus tour of the state — begins in earnest.
