My opponent does indeed (or at least did) want to expand the WASL.  S.B 6618 (2005-2006), sponsored by my opponent, says, "Requiring a study to explore options to augment the current educational assessment system."  Webster's definition of "augment" is "to make greater, more numerous, larger, or more intense." In other words, "expand."  The bill passed.  My opponent may have changed her position on this by now, but the point is this:  When will the WASL, which even the Washington State Democrat Party's platform says should be eliminated, be "complete"?  Additionally, my opponent wants to delay the reading, writing, and math requirements.  Fifteen years and millions and millions of dollars and we still have not gotten it right?  This is why my opponent (and SPI Bergeson) need to be replaced - they have failed to get us where we need to go.

I respectfully ask for your vote this coming November.  I also ask that you vote for others (Dino Rossi, for example) who would truly like to change the culture in Olympia.  One person cannot do it alone.  It will take a concerted effort by a large number of like-minded people to get anything done.  True change cannot happen overnight, but we must get things pointed back in the right direction.

Thank you!
