Governor Gregoire. I live in Oregon and work in WA. I travel over the 205 Bridge 5 days a week. Coming over the bridge there are so many drivers who are speeding. When you arrive into WA the welcome sign is more than an eyesore than a welcome. Yesterday a man was parked along the side of the freeway taking a picture of the sign. All I could think is what a terrible picture this would be not only because of the sign but this state is probably the worst for litter I have ever seen. Off ramps are filled with weeds and litter. I work in Clark County. The road I work on is one of the most unsafe roads because of cars speeding, going faster than driving on the freeway. We had a police officer stay in our RV Park and I told him WA would make a fortune on speeders in this state All he said is that there isn't enough of a police force to take care of the problem. WA is a beautiful pictureque State, if it is at all interested in being a clean-green state well lets clean it up along the highways and make it safer for drivers who use the highways. Thank you.
