VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire gives the Washington Legislature an ‘A’ grade for its work in the recent special session.

She told a meeting of business leaders at WSU Vancouver on Thursday that lawmakers took votes they never expected to take to solve a $5 billion budget problem. She said reforms in unemployment insurance premiums and workers compensation are already benefiting businesses.

The Columbian reports Gregoire said that in five years “people will be saying this was a historic legislative session.”
