OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Gov. Chris Gregoire said the state won't accept any more parolees from Arkansas until she's assured of a better system for sending them back.
"If Arkansas doesn't like it, then sue me," she said. "You know, I don't care. My job is to protect the people of the State of Washington first and foremost."

Sounds good, but I wonder how many regular citizens (non cops) died before the Gov started paying attention.
She’s right to worry about the AR parolees, but she also needs to look to her own court system where a judge let this animal out on $150K bail after being charge with the rape of a minor.
A Seattle cop once told me most arrestees are out before he’s finished his paperwork. He had little to no interest in investigating petty crime.
I think the current gov. needs to go back and do a little history. She might want to learn about Charles Campbell.
Why he was sent to work release?
What was covered up?
Who was Mr Buttons?
Then she might want to inquire about, Terry, Hillus, and Pond?
Maybe she should remove the log from her own state, before she accuses others.
I agree with you.
Political grandstanding by Gregoire.
but..but...Huck says it wasn’t his fault!
“My job is to protect the people of the State of Washington first and foremost.”
Was that her job the day before the murders of 4 cops, or is it her job now, after they are dead and the heats been turned up?
If this twit really wants to do her job, she can start on the Washington state judges that failed these cops and their families. When she/it can straighten out and clean up Washington’s sick criminal justice system, then by all means... raise hell with Arkansas too.
This jerk, or should it be jerkette, oh heck, how about just plain lib bitch, is only upset with Arkansas because these murders have put her watch under a microscope. She needs to deal with Washington’s problems and frankly, I don’t think she’s got it in her..... all talk... no walk.
Case in Point, Clemmens was being charged with his 3rd Strike in a State with a “3-strikes your out law” He was facing Life in Prison if convicted. What Judge in his right mind would let a potential Lifer out on parole? and then six days later four Cops are dead. Huckabee shares some of the Blame, but does anyone even know this WA Judges name, and asking him why the Parole? And asking Gregoire why the WA Justice system could not keep him off the streets when it was obvious he was continuing his evil streak.
Typical pass the buck politician.
You have to got watch this video
Bill O’reilly hates Christine Gregoire
Nam Vet
Who, exactly, was the idiotic WA judge who led this monster go free?
I have yet to see any mention of him/her.
she also needs to look to her own court system where a judge let this animal out on $150K bail after being charge with the rape of a minor
The bitch doesn’t want you to go there, it would lead to questions about her OWN friggin’ parole board letting the animal out on a $150,000 bond. Gregiore is as to blame as Huck.
Good post.
