Once you become a member of the Law Enforcement community,you never can stop wanting to control the lives of people.
Gregoire has become an extention of the federalist views on everything now.
After all there is good money in it,they pay quite well to adhere to federal policies.

Why is it that people insist on inflicting their beliefs on others? Gregoire should just stay out of it if she can't support it. No one is asking her to commit suicide are they? Well, no one associated with Gardner's initiative anyway.
As a society, we often have more compassion for animals than we do people.

I see from her quote that she's not supportive, but did she say directly that she opposed it?

Good point KDS. JamesB, I think you are reacting more to Davids headline than to what the Gov actually said.
I for one am in total support of what Booth is pushing and see a great difference between Gregoire expressing her personal views and the prospect of her doing comercials in opposition to the initiative, if and when it is before the voters.

I am pleasantly surprised by Governor Gregoire's early opposition to the Oregon-like assisted suicide initiative. Good for her. The promotion of suicide has always been against universal moral precepts.

Please remove the gas tax.
With prices on oil skyrocketing, the tax on gas is becoming an unusually heavy burden.

In Grays Harbor, particularly Aberdeen, Hoquiam and shore points, the price of gas is higher than in other parts of the state; when you add the tax of 9 cents per gallon, you have an even more horrible price to pay.

Let us not forget that Grays Harbor has been an economically depressed area for some years. Why does it carry this EXTRA burden of higher gas prices PLUS the 9 cent per gallon tax?

There must be another way, especially for the counties that are not doing as well as Thurston or King or Pierce county.
