Gov. Gregoire's statement on failure of HB 1515

For Immediate Release: April 21, 2005

Gov. Christine Gregoire today released the following statement after the Senate failed to pass HB 1515 regarding discrimination and sexual orientation:

�I am deeply disappointed that the bill to end discrimination in housing and employment in our state failed to pass during this legislative session. I remain committed to ending discrimination and I urge all my fellow citizens to do all we can, individually and as a community, to make Washington a safe and welcoming place for all people to live and work. I commend Rep. Murray, Sen. Brown and Speaker Chopp for their extraordinary work on this important issue.�
