pudge's Journal: Governor Gregoire: Follow the Law

As detailed by the EFF's Bob Williams, Governor Gregoire is required by RCW 43.88.110 (8) to order across-the-board cuts in allotments for a particular fund "if at any time during the fiscal period the governor projects a cash deficit" in that fund. Currently, the governor's March economic forecast projects a $48m deficit in the general fund on June 30.

This is not optional. She is required to order these cuts and has not done so.
