Christine Gregoire told the Association of Washington Business that Washington's budget grew from $33 billion to nearly $80 billion — and called it a spending problem, not an income problem. Chris Cargill of Mountain States Policy Center unpacks what her candid remarks reveal about Olympia's relationship with employers and economic growth. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-when-youve-lost-christine-gregoire-youve-lost-washington/ #WashingtonState #Olympia #StateBudget #ChristineGregoire #BusinessPolicy #Opinion #Columns #Politics #FiscalPolicy #MountainStatesPolicy
