Chris
Gregoire has a long record of successfully fighting polluters and working out
positive solutions. She negotiated the Tri-Party Agreement to clean up Hanford
waste and has diligently fought the Bush administration's efforts to do further
damage. She joined with other states to sue the Environmental Protection Agency
to ensure they worked to slow global warming and enforce the Clean Air Act. She
has dedicated much of her career to fixing our state's water allocation
problems, to ensure there's enough water in streams for fish and the
communities that depend on them.
Ms. Gregoire pledges to invest in
clean energy to help slow global warming, increase jobs and investments in our
state, and ensure enough water for fish in our rivers. She recognizes we can
promote businesses that don't pollute our air and water. She supports phasing
out pollutants that are dangerous to our children and investing in safer
alternatives. She pledges to protect our last remaining old growth forests and
develop a more stable way to fund our schools instead of clearcutting our state
forests.
