''Gregoire: Bush Shortchanging the States'' (UPDATED)

"OLYMPIA, Wash. -- America's newest governor, Democrat Christine Gregoire of Washington, chided President Bush on Saturday for shortchanging the states and urged the former Texas governor to remember their financial needs. The Democratic Governors' Association picked Gregoire to respond to President Bush's weekly radio address to the nation. She took office on Jan. 12 after winning by just 129 votes out of 2.9 million cast. Her Republican rival wants the courts to overturn the election and order a revote."-from the AP story. I didn't see it in our Sunday paper, did you? Update: Full disclosure: Bob Shields let me know that this story was in both of our dailies on Saturday. This is what happens when you get a new day job.
