King County Executive Ron Sims has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for next year's Washington State governor's race.
Sims pledged to bring health-care coverage to more Washingtonians and to improve education.and
If elected governor, Sims said, he will look for ways to streamline and reduce the cost of state government before considering higher taxes to support initiatives such as smaller class sizes in public schools, higher teacher pay and broader health-care coverage.No word yet how he plans to reduce the cost of state government while simultaneously increasing expenditures and holding the line on taxes.
I think you're being way too skeptical here, Shark. After all, think how much Ron Sims has done to reduce the cost of government in King County.
