Gregoire all but said that being a governor with nothing to do but make cuts is no fun. She hates it.
So which Democratic Senator is leaving?
I cannot imagine Christine not running for political office, and Senator sounds like something she would want to do.
They are cutting spending in WA state?
Gregoire was probably referring to the health care block grants that she was forced to support in order to balance the budget. She went to WA DC just a week or so ago and signed on to the Republican proposal, which kind of undermines Obamacare efforts.
She may also see the handwriting on the wall in regard to Obamacare being declared unconstitutional, after all the moves she has made to destroy the private insurance companies and medicare in this state.
The Democrat party is breaking apart in this state. It’s now unions vs environmentalists. All the Dems politicians have sided with the unions over the Greens. They are going where the money is.
