Gregoire suggests small step first
With most legislators still at home, their leaders met Tuesday with Gov. Chris Gregoire in search of a solution to the state鈥檚 budget problems.
The four legislative leaders reached no agreements on a key sticking point.
Gregoire told them to set that aside and come up with a way to shore up at least $200 million of the $1.5 billion budget gap that members of both parties, in both houses, might accept.
