		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Updated Jan. 16, 2012 Washington state has a $1.5 billion deficit, and ample justification for implementing government and budgeting reforms. But nearly two dozen lawmakers have something more important to do. They’re gaming the voter registration system in a disingenuous effort to win elections. That’s right. They’re not addressing the concerns of most businesspeople [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Updated Jan. 11, 2012 A Seattle Times headline is perplexing. True, the headline –“Lawmakers open session, try to close $1B gap” – is a fairly accurate assessment of Washington state’s budget. Not to be laboriously repetitive, but the headline is worrisome. Once again the Legislature faces a budget crisis. “The economy is the focal [...]]]></description>

Chris Gregoire when she claimed Washington has slashed $10.8 billion from the state budget in the last [...]]]></description>
