Gregoire wants economic stimulus. Fast.

According to the P-I, she sounded hoarse after her strenuous re-election campaign and convincing victory. Not wasting any time, Gov. Chris Gregoire said she is seeking an immediate $300 million economic relief package to help low income families. Included in the stimulus project: Subsidizing energy costs. Approximately $85 million will aid Washingtonians to pay heating and energy bills and, without getting into the details, making weatherization improvements to their homes. She wants the stimulus to pass right after lawmakers convene their new session in January.
