Inslee Critical Of State Senate After Peterson's Ouster

(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington Governor Jay Inslee says Senate Republicans should be "ashamed" of ousting state Transportation Department Secretary Lynn Peterson.  Twenty-four Republicans and one Democrat voted Friday not to confirm Peterson's appointment to the position, which she had already held for three years.  Inslee called the vote a "scurrilous, underhanded, and dishonest" political move.  Republicans said they ousted Peterson to bring accountability to state government following ongoing problems with I-405 express toll lanes and the Highway 99 tunnel in Seattle.
