(Bremerton, WA)  --  Governor Jay Inslee says Washingtonians will need to make some "hard choices" if the state is to maintain its status as an exceptional place to live.  The governor made the remarks yesterday before members of the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce.  Inslee says Washington residents must be willing to invest in education and transportation, and be a leader in dealing with green energy and ocean acidification, if the state is to continue running well.  He told the "Kitsap Sun" he'd like to see lawmakers eliminate some tax loopholes as they try to fill the gap between what the state has and what it needs.
