Petiton Governor Gregoire to raise revenue

[eridani]

The King County Legislative Action Committee drafted a letter to Gov. Gregoire about raising revenue to match 50/50 the program cuts being proposed in the budget.

I have posted this letter as a petition to Gov. Gregoire from the People of Washington here:

On February 19, 2009, thirty Washington state economists sent a letter on the state budget deficit to Governor Gregoire, Speaker Chopp, and Senate Majority Leader Brown. Signing the letter were distinguished economists from the University of Washington, Washington State University, and other colleges. With the state budget deficit now estimated at $9 billion for the biennium, the moment of truth has arrived for our state legislators.

Will they act on the advice of our state's top economists and begin to repair the damage of a devastating local economy? Or will they make it worse by acting out of their usual political expedience?
