Haler responds to governor's State of the State

Statement from Rep. Larry Haler, R-Richland:

"It is interesting the governor did not highlight that under her watch the budget has ballooned 33 percent in four years - the largest budget increase in state history.

"The vague speech took credit for solving all the state's problems - past, current and future. Unfortunately, our education system is not preparing our students for the global marketplace, health care continues to be a major concern for families and small businesses, and people are still stuck in traffic. There is a disconnect between the governor's so-called accomplishments and what families in Washington are really facing."
