OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire is ordering state agencies to make it easier for small businesses to prosper.

In an executive order issued Tuesday, Gregoire is telling the state departments of Labor and Industries, Revenue, and Employment Security to look at ways to reduce the costs the state imposes on small businesses. She also is ordering state agencies to find ways to streamline or eliminate regulatory procedures, and to increase exports by farms and small companies.

The governor says she wants to make it easier for small business owners to create jobs and help lift the state out of the recession.
