Rossi on KING 5's Up Front

KING 5's Allen Schauffler and I interviewed Dino Rossi for this Sunday’s Up Front program. The show airs at 9:30 a.m. on KING 5 and at 8 p.m. on Northwest Cable News. In the interview, Rossi talks about his backers at the Building Industry Association of Washington, what he would have done with tribal gambling compacts, and other issues.

We also continued the discussion for an interview you can watch now on-line. In that portion of the interview, I ask Rossi why he refuses to answer questions about issues he says aren’t part of his campaign. Here’s part of what he said:

I only have so much time to talk to the voters in the state of Washington. ... This is my campaign. I’ll talk about the issues I want to. When people have the guts enough to run for office they can actually talk about whatever issues they want to talk about.

Watch the on-line extra here and be sure to watch the program Sunday.
