Reagan Dunn

BELLEVUE - Surrounded by a slate of influential local Republicans like Rep. Doug Erickson, Rep. Glenn Anderson, Sen. Cheryl Pflug and King County Councilman Reagan Dunn, gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi unveiled his new transportation plan this morning at the Bellevue Red Lion.

The detailed plan, called "progressive" by the campaign, contains $15 billion worth of projects meant to improve congestion, fully fund ferries and smaller road projects, and even repair more than a thousand state-controlled culverts to improve salmon habitat in order to better serve today's commuters as well as the millions projected to move into the state in the next 20 years.

Incumbent Attorney General Rob McKenna faces an easy challenge by former Pierce County Prosecutor and Executive John Ladenburg.
