WA Governor Says Transportation Issues Will Cost Farmers

Governorn Inslee has been repeatedly asking the legislature to pass a transportation package in recent months, and now he says that the agriculture industry will feel the pain if we don't. Speaking in Ellensburg yesterday, Inslee said farmers trying to move their crops could be impacted by infrastructure issues and costs associated with getting their products where they're needed.

The Yakima Herald has the story.
