Governor
Gary Locke speaks to the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce
 Washington
State Governor Gary
Locke addressed concerns for Eastern Washington
businesses and residents at the Valley Chamber Luncheon this
past Monday, April 9, 2001.
Of the major concerns were three main issues: (1) the energy
crisis, (2) the drought and (3) the Seattle earthquake. The
Boeing situation was also addressed.
He admonished all residents to do everything possible to
conserve energy. He also said that a strong transportation
system was critical to the success of business in Washington.
He supports the continual improvements on I-90 and hopes that
a Spokane north/south corridor will soon become a reality.
Education is still a major issue that he plans to promote
for Washington.
He assured us that he is doing everything in his power to
make a "one" Washington state, not an east and west
rivalry. The whole state of Washington working together is
critical for its financial success.
