Rossi Campaign Responds to Gregoire's Press Conference on Attack Ads
By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com ReporterRossi Campaign Responds to Gregoire's Press Conference on Attack Ads
Redmond, WA - The Rossi campaign released the following statement today in response to Christine Gregoire's press conference on attack ads:
"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," said Jill Strait, Dino Rossi spokesperson. "Gregoire and her political operatives have been shamelessly trying to smear Dino since before our campaign even began. The Washington Education Association ran radio attack ads against Dino in February, the Democratic Governor's Association and local unions have put more than $800,000 into the new Evergreen Progress PAC that will undoubtedly be used to attack Dino, and the State Democratic Party sends out almost daily press releases filled with distortions. Is Gregoire suddenly going to take a stand against all of these groups? I wouldn't count on it.
"Gregoire says we should talk about issues. We agree. Here are some of the issues we've been talking about:
- Dino Rossi will control runaway government spending.Gregoire increased spending by over 33% and turned a $2 billion surplus into a $2.5 billion (and growing) deficit.
- Rossi will work will law enforcement to keep our neighborhoods safe.Gregoire allowed the early release of 3,100 violent felons.State government doesn't know the location of over 1,300 sex offenders.
- Rossi will protect our state's most vulnerable citizens.Gregoire has given up trying to get the Children's Administration accredited.
- Rossi has a comprehensive statewide transportation plan based on congestion relief. Gregoire has made no decision on the Alaskan Way Viaduct, has told Spokane & southwest Washington that they need to find their own money to fix their largest state highway problems, and has no plan to fix congestion in the Puget Sound."
