50-word statement:
Dino Rossi - A governor who will get things done.for a change. Dino is running to make Washington the best state in America to start a business and the worst state in America to be a criminal.
Three priorities:
Responsible state spending: Other states control their spending, but not here. While we tighten our belts, our state spends and grows a $2.7 billion deficit. With the status-quo, we can expect higher taxes.
Dino Rossi is a businessman. He'll watch our tax dollars like a hawk and cut waste, because the answer to Washington's challenges is not always to spend more tax money, but to spend it wisely.
Public Safety: Washingtonians must be safe. Dino will end early prison release for violent offenders, and will closely monitor all level 3 sex offenders. He will also ensure that we find and monitor the 1,300 sex offenders state government has allowed to register as "homeless."
Education: Other states are reforming education to prepare students for global competition, but not here. Dino will replace the WASL with America's best standardized test, and have students meet fair and rigorous standards.
