| Governor Christine Gregoire's State of the State Address
Economic/Workforce Development, Federal, Federal--Aid, Finance, Finance--Facilities
-- Create new jobs by rebuilding roads and schools, and creating a green economy for the 21st century — all in partnership with President-elect Barack Obama's "American Recovery and Reinvestment" plan.
-- Accelerate nearly $1 billion in public works projects to quickly create thousands of new jobs.
-- Introduce the "Washington Jobs Now" plan, which, in combination with the 1,400 transportation projects currently under way or about to start (worth $3 billion), will provide nearly 20,000 jobs over the next two years.
-- Work with legislators and others to create an economic recovery plan that will quickly pass the legislature.
Accountability, Business Involvement, Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures, Postsecondary, Public Involvement, State Boards/Chiefs/Agencies
-- Reform state government to bring it into the 21st century. For example, I've asked Auditor Sonntag to examine ways to sunset some of state's 470 boards and commissions.
-- Partner with business and labor, state employees, and citizens to reform state government.
Finance, Finance--State Budgets/Expenditures
-- Propose difficult budget cuts. I don't like this budget, but I proposed it because I must.
-- Tighten the belt of government, balance the budget and focus on basic needs — protection of our children, our schools and colleges, our public safety, our environment and our economy.
Economic/Workforce Development, Mathematics, Postsecondary, Science, Technology
-- Preserve our education system to make sure we provide workers skilled in science, math, engineering and technology.
Community Colleges, Distance Learning/Virtual University, Postsecondary, Technology
-- Support the 18,000 full-time students at state community and technical colleges that are earning course credits online. It would take an additional four community colleges to offer all those classes the old-fashioned way.
