Inslee was in the basement with Conyers in the Downing Street Hearings. He was a champion of our causes before it was cool. This is cool and I'm soooo happy for him.

(12,081 posts)I hope he plans on addressing education. I actually liked Mckenna's plan for reducing the amount that individual communities had to raise with local taxes and raise the amount of money that the state had to contribute. I hated McKenna's objection to ACA and other issues. Education is becoming an increasingly important issue for me so I hope Inslee has a plan to increase state funding for education. Right now WA is in violation of its own state constitution to put education as top priority and fully fund education.
