After losing temper, Sen. Liias apologizes to Oregon governor
OLYMPIA State Sen. Marko Liias has apologized to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown for disparaging her in a radio interview Thursday.
I lost my temper
and made some intemperate and disrespectful remarks, the Everett Democrat wrote in an email to the governor Thursday night.
Brown, also a Democrat, opposes a 6 cent tax on exported fuel that is proposed in Washington Democrats $16 billion transportation package. Most of Oregons fuel comes from Washington, making it likely Oregon drivers will see the increase at the pump.
Let me be clear: Oregon will not stand for taxation levied by Washington leaders with no consultation with our state government, our business community or our residents, she wrote in a Seattle Times guest column on Tuesday. A few days earlier, Brown tweeted that she told Washington Gov. Jay Inslee the tax is unacceptable.
