Johnson Fires Back At Inslee

A Washington state 14th District legislator is firing back at Governor Jay Inslee over the Senate’s decision not to confirm the appointment of Lynn Peterson as head of the state Department of Transportation.  Inslee, a Democrat, called the Senate vote an “election year stunt.”  But Republican Representative Norm Johnson said in combination with the swirling controversy over a Corrections Department computer program problem resulting in the early release of some prisoners, the Governor needs to “clean his own house, and we shouldn’t have to clean it for him.”  Inslee said Monday current Deputy Secretary Roger Millar is in charge of the transportation department, and there is no timeline for making a new appointment.
