Good riddance to guv

Sun., Nov. 6, 2011

In response to the article in today’s Spokesman-Review about “Gregoire seeks union help,” I, for one, will be ecstatic when she leaves office! I think that the unions have already done more than their share of taking cuts and paying more for our insurance. How on earth does she expect us to live?

In all this time, I have never read anything about the governor cutting her workforce or taking a cut in her pay! Maybe we should start charging her rent on that big mansion that the state allows her to live in for free or, better yet, take away a jet or two and put a cap on her travels!

I am not a Gregoire fan. The sooner we get a new governor, I think the better we will be. Rossi, I voted for you!
