Inslee

The track's seating capacity is a couple of thousand, and the grandstands were said to be pretty full.

Dow Constantine was the top budget writer for Governor Gregoire. Now, he's sharply criticized Inslee's 'not so A team' as being a bit of a joke.

It's interesting that virtually every county surrounding Benton had multiple businesses who got relief.

The two Working Washington Small Business Grant programs total $20 million. the cost of implementing the Contact Tracing program and other COVID related issues in Benton Franklin County along may run $3 million OVER the agency's budget...and that's just our counties.

you may recall earlier in the COVID time $5 million set aside for small business relief? that was enough to help 501 businesses, out of an estimated 608,000.

Inslee said on video in his press conference Wednesday that counties moving to Phase 2 would depend upon how fully they are embracing, working and pushing to get Contact Tracing programs up an running in their areas.

Inslee told Bernie Sanders and panel "we should not be intimidated when people say 'oh, you can't use this COVID crisis, you know, to peddle a solution to climate change."

KING-5 TV has released data from latest recent poll, not looking good at all for Inslee. And poll was taken at beginning of COVID issue. Many now believe if it were taken now, poll numbers would be significantly lower.

Gov. Inslee, in a bit of a change, laid out some praise for the private industry, but also asked some "aimed" questions that the industry leaders answered, but could have easily turned testy.

It appears at least one of the five risk categories is being used to 'hold' up the process of re-open. The little 'dials' are not where they really should be?
