But the fact remains that if a large majority of the government is opposed to something, it would be childish to blame everything on Gregoire.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, I am Republican voter, not a Democrat, and I am not writing this as some sort of Gregoire apologist. I'd much rather see Rossi than her come November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-17671929585029052122008-03-13T16:08:00.000-07:002008-03-13T16:08:00.000-07:00My error.

Chris Gregoire says there won't be action this year on a plan to renovate Key Arena as a way to keep the Sonics in town. In an interview taped for TVW, Gregoire said that there aren't the votes to pass what a would-be, in-state ownership group says is needed for a viable team. <BR/><BR/>"Gregoire said that she asked Senate Democratic and Republican leaders to do a careful vote count. Shortly after noon Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown and Minority Leader Mike Hewitt told the governor there were not nearly enough votes to approve the plan for $150 million in taxpayer money."<BR/><BR/>Make of that what you will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
