Washington 14th District State Representative Gina McCabe delivered the Republican response to Governor Jay Inslee’s state of the state address, emphasizing education, job creation, and government accountability. McCabe said citizens in many areas of the state are still struggling with the economy, and they need jobs rather than tax increases. The Goldendale representative acknowledged while investments have been made in K-12 education in the past four years, work to address the McCleary decision is not done. However, she added success in public schools shouldn’t be measured in dollars.
