Link skips past 45 minutes of preamble, ceremony, introductions and the governor yammering about his family.

If the link doesn't do it automatically, jump forward to 45:01 to get to where he actually starts talking about state matters.

Not bad. Seems straightforward to me after listening to the whole thing. We'll see what actually gets done.

Investing in repaving roads and fixing bridges - with no tax increases. In fact, only tax increase I heard proposed was a millions tax, and that's if you earn over 1mil a year. Anyone upset about that makes too much money and deserves it. Pushing back against federal overreach, more veteran's benefits

Overall, positive speech, now get it done

It's nice to hear him going back to some of his campaign platforms. Maybe the last Seattle election reminded him that we actually want progressive policies.
