Christine Gregoire on Government Reform Democratic WA Governor

Transform to 21st-century government that can't do it all

This year, amid the worst economic climate in eight decades, our challenge is to actually transform Washington State government. I think each of you will find in the weeks ahead our budget crisis leaves us no other option. It will take tough, but wise decisions. I've offered a path forward. Here it is:
1. We must create a stable, financially secure path for our future;
2. We must recognize government cannot do it all; and
3. We must transform government into a leaner, 21st century organization that is more effective and efficient.
