Gov. Locke's statement on Senate passage of capital budget

"Today's nearly unanimous passage of a capital budget by the state Senate is wonderful news for Washingtonians. This capital budget will fund much-needed improvements to our community and technical colleges and state parks. More importantly, however, the state Senate's capital budget will create thousands of new jobs during the ongoing national economic recession.

"I look forward to quick action on the capital budget by the state House of Representatives.

"I want to thank state Sen. Darlene Fairley (D-32) and state Sen. Joseph Zarelli (R-18) for their work to craft this impressive budget, which will provide much welcomed economic stimulus."
