Statement from Governor Gregoire on the Passage of the Rainy Day Fund

For Immediate Release: April 20, 2007

Governor Chris Gregoire:

"Tonight the Legislature has given the people of Washington an opportunity to create a Rainy Day Fund to help stabilize our economy. While the impact of our other legislative work will be felt immediately in schools, in hospitals and in homes across our state, the establishment of a constitutionally protected Rainy Day fund will allow us to prepare for tomorrow�s challenges. By setting aside money when times are good, we will ensure that we are always prepared to keep our commitments to Washington families."
