REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the session. I know it’s going to be a very busy and very difficult one. I know that you’ll do a great job. Every year we are privileged to have the Lakefair Queen welcome us on the opening day of legislative session and this is no different. I am very pleased and honored to have Michelle Santos, this year’s Lakefair Queen to say a few words. She’s accompanied today by Peggy Brink, the 2010 Lakefair Royalty Scholarship Chairperson and also accompanying her today and seated in the south gallery are her father, Manuel Santos; mother, Herminia Santos; Bob and Serry Barnes, 2010 Capital Lakefair President and First Lady. So, again, it’s my great privilege and honor to introduce our Lakefair Queen to you today.”
REMARKS BY MICHELLE SANTOS
Michelle Santos: “Good afternoon and welcome. I’m honored to be here with all of you on the 2010 opening day of legislature. I would like to take this opportunity and share with you my views on an issue that I feel quite passionate about. The future of our youth is at stake. Please take a moment and think about what the foundation of their success should be. A single word should come to mind, education. We must provide a strong basic educational system that is attainable by all while not ignoring the challenges and barriers that so many face which would truly leave children behind. It is evident that we should put our current economical standing into consideration but even so, it seems the proper school funding is further swept under the rug. I believe there are two directions our state can go to increase funding for education, raise taxes or reprioritize and redirect existing funds within our state government. Between the two there’s no question that the second option truly opens doors to real solutions. If increasing taxes becomes the state’s focal point as well as spending more without reform, our state will continue down the path of fiscal instability. We must strengthen our focus on education and emphasize the idea to continuously give it first priority. In 1997, forty-four percent of the state’s general funds were dedicated to K-12 education and today it decreased by two percent. In order to put children first we must combine true priorities of government process with the structuring of state government. This will allow our state to truly dedicate our time to the areas that are most important to Washington families. I, myself see so much potential and not only students within my neighboring schools but for all Washington State students as a whole. I’m aware that I’m only one, one voice, but with the help from all of you we can strengthen our youth’s educational foundation to ultimately increase and assure our success in the future. Today, you are here to make decisions on issues that greatly affect this state but with everyone’s best interest at heart. With education being one of them, I truly believe that all of you hold the same concern and are willing to find a way to improve its funding. I wish you the best of luck in your negotiations and I am confident in your abilities to work together and do what is best for Washington State and its wonderful people. Thank you.”

Dear Governor Gregoire:
It is with regret that I announce my resignation from the Washington State Senate effective December 18, 2009.
My decision to leave the Senate was a very difficult one. I have been honored to have served the constituents of the 41st Legislative District and the State of Washington in both the House and Senate for the past ten years and count my time in the legislature as a highlight of my career. Representing my community has been a rewarding and humbling experience.
I am proud of the work my colleagues and I have accomplished during my tenure for our constituents and look forward to continuing to serve our region in my new role as Deputy King County Executive.
I look forward to working with members of the legislature in my new position.
Fred Jarrett
Deputy King County Executive

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
VETO ON SENATE BILL NO. 5542
April 16, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning, without my approval, Senate Bill 5542 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to member of the law enforcement officers= and firefighters= retirement system plan 2 who were disabled in the line of dutybefore January 1, 2001.
This bill is identical to House Bill 1678, which I signed into law on April 15, 2009.
For the reason I have vetoed Senate Bill 5542 in its entirety.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5318
April 30, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning, without my approval as to Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5318 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to adding additional appropriate locations for the transfer of newborn children.
Section 2 of this bill requires the Department of Social and Health Services to collect and compile information, and to report annually to the Legislature beginning January 1, 2011 regarding the number and medical condition of newborns transferred at appropriate locations and newborns who are abandoned.
Legislators may well wish to request ad hoc reports from the department on this topic for the next few years to monitor the implementation of this legislation, but it is likely that, over time, the data in the report will not vary much from year to year. Legislative members and staff are likely to be uninterested in reading such a report even as the department must continue to produce it. I do not believe it is necessary to require this reporting requirement in statute.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5318.
With the exception of Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5318 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5360
April 30, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to Section 3, Substitute Senate Bill 5360 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to community health care collaborative grants.
Section 3 requires the administrator of the Health Care Authority to produce a report every two years. In difficult economic times, producing additional reports will only further strain limited funding and staff time. If legislators or governors require further information on the performance of the grant program, they can simply request such information from the Health Care Authority.For this reason, I have vetoed Section 3 of Substitute Senate Bill 5360.
With the exception of Section 3, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5360 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning, without my approval as to Section 4, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5414 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to statewide assessments and curricula.
Section 4, in part, requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in consultation with the State Board of Education, to develop an implementation plan, including an assessment of the feasibility of implementing the current timelines for students to demonstrate that they have met state mathematics and science standards in high school assessments. These timelines are critical components of our statewide effort to ensure that our students are ready for the 21st century. Now is not the time to indicate any lack of resolve in our commitment to our students by revisiting or adjusting those standards. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 4 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5414.
With the exception of Section 4, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5414 is approved.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning, without my approval as to Section 5, Substitute Senate Bill 5608 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to genetic counselors; amending RCW 18.130.040.
Section 5 provides for an advisory committee on genetic counseling to be established under the Secretary of Health. In difficult economic times, we need fewer not more advisory committees, boards and commissions absorbing limited funding and staff time. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 5 of Substitute Senate Bill 5608.

I have approved, except for Sections 1 through 7, Substitute Senate Bill 5199 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to public water supply system operators.
Sections 1 through 7 of Substitute Senate Bill 5199 are identical to Substitute House Bill 1283 that I signed on April 25, 2009. For this reason, I have vetoed Sections 1 through 7 of Substitute Senate Bill 5199. With the exceptions of sections 1 through 7 Substitute Senate Bill 5199 is approved.

VETO ON ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5288

To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 18, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5288 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to the supervision of offenders.
I am vetoing the emergency clause in Section 18. I have spoken with the Department of Corrections, and have been informed that they need time to implement the changes of the bill. They have begun preparing and will be ready to implement the changes August 1, 2009, but are not able to make these changes immediately. The elimination of the emergency clause will not affect the fiscal assumptions of the bill.
For this reason, I have vetoed Section 18 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5288. With the exception of Section 18, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5288 is approved.

AAN ACT Relating to criminal justice: Providing for the supervision of offenders sentenced to community custody regardless of risk classification if the offender has a current conviction for a serious violent offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030.
Substitute Senate Bill 6162 corrects an error in Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5288 by ensuring that all serious violent offenders are sentenced to community custody regardless of risk level. I have vetoed the emergency clause in ESSB 5288, and so I am also vetoing the emergency clause in Section 3 of SSB 6162 as it is not necessary.
For this reason, I have vetoed Section 3 of Substitute Senate Bill 6162. With the exception of Section 3, Substitute Senate Bill 6162 is approved.

VETO ON ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5649
May 7, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 403, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5649 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to achieving greater energy efficiency in buildings.
Section 403 of the bill requires the Governor to designate a single point of accountability for all energy and climate change initiatives within state agencies. This language duplicates the requirements contained in Substitute Senate Bill 5921, Section 4(1). I signed Substitute Senate Bill 5921 on May 4, 2009. As a result, this provision is not needed and I have vetoed Section 403 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5649.
Some stakeholders have expressed concerns regarding Section 202 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5649. Section 202 of the bill establishes new employment and reporting requirements for the state’s existing low income weatherization program. It will be important to implement these new requirements in a manner that allows the local community action agencies and their funding sponsors to comply efficiently and effectively with the new requirements. To that end, I will direct the Department of Commerce to prepare administrative rules immediately to address the interpretation of the new requirements.
With the exception of Section 403, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5649 is approved.

The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 4, Engrossed Senate Bill 6033 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to creating the prevent or reduce owner-occupied foreclosure program.
Section 4 of this bill requires the Washington State Housing Finance Commission to establish an oversight committee to prevent or reduce owner-occupied home foreclosures. The committee is tasked with developing criteria for the success of the program, periodically evaluating the effectiveness of the program, developing and maintaining an inventory of state and federal housing assistance programs directed to stabilize owner-occupied homes and coordinating all state efforts related to prevention or reduction of owner-occupied foreclosures. These tasks are all important.
The Washington State Housing Finance Commission and Department of Financial Institutions, however, already have the authority to consult with stakeholders on these topics. Therefore I am vetoing Section 4 of this bill and ask that the directors of the Washington Housing Finance Commission and the Department of Financial Institutions exercise their authority to seek input from stakeholders when establishing the program.
For this reason, I have vetoed Section 4 of Engrossed Senate Bill 6033. With the exception of Section 4, Engrossed Senate bill 6033 is approved.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 1, Substitute Senate Bill 6122 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to reducing costs of the elections division of the office of the secretary of state.
Section 1 of Substitute Senate Bill 6122 exempts the Elections Division from being required to use the State Printer for printing Voter Pamphlets. The State Printer provides consolidated and centralized print services on behalf of the State. Preserving that centralized capability brings important cost savings and efficiencies to State agencies. If the State Printer is not able to meet the price available to the Office of the Secretary of State from other printers, however, I will direct the State Printer to allow the Office of the Secretary of State to print the Voter Pamphlet elsewhere.
For this reason, I have vetoed Section 1 of Substitute Senate Bill 6122. With the exception of Section 1, Substitute Senate Bill 6122 is approved.

AAN ACT Relating to the sale of timber from state trust lands.
Section 6 requires the Department of Natural Resources to prepare a report for which no funding was provided in the budget. In these challenging economic times, state agencies are already struggling to meet their existing obligations. This requirement places a large, unfunded burden upon the agency.

May 13, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning, without my approval as to Sections 215(2), 215(4), 217(9), 602 and 715, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5352 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to transportation funding and appropriations.
Section 215(2), page 19, Department of Transportation
This proviso requires the Department of Transportation (Department) to offer former property owners the Aright of first repurchase@ if the property was acquired through condemnation or threat of condemnation, and the property is to be sold as surplus because it is no longer needed for a public purpose. This proviso may hinder the Department’s ability to utilize property it currently owns in future acquisition negotiations. It also may have the unintended consequence of restricting the Department’s ability to get the best price for surplus property by limiting competition.
Section 215(4), page 20, Department of Transportation
This proviso makes an appropriation of $2,000,000 from the Water Pollution Account-State subject to passage of Substitute House Bill 1614. Since Substitute House Bill 1614 was not enacted, the appropriation lapses and this section is no longer required.
Section 217(9), page 22, Department of Transportation
This proviso makes an appropriation of $12,500,000 from the Water Pollution Account-State subject to passage of Substitute House Bill 1614. Since Substitute House Bill 1614 was not enacted, the appropriation lapses and this section is no longer required.
Section 602, pages 71-72, Department of Transportation
This section would have transportation agencies hire a consultant approved by the Department of Information Services to develop a Aconsolidated strategy and plan@ to achieve cost savings resulting from holistic virtualization, wide area network optimization, transition to alternative telecommunications systems, and migration to internal voice mail systems. A similar proviso in the omnibus operating budget (Section 143) requires the Department of Information Services to implement some or all of these strategies and to report on the savings to the Office of Financial Management and the fiscal committees of the Legislature.
The transportation budget does not contain funding to hire contractors to develop the plan. Rather than hiring a contractor, the Department can work with the Department of Information Services to learn from its experience with these strategies.
Section 715, pages 87-88, Department of Transportation
This section would give the Legislature the ability to designate property under the jurisdiction of the Department as Aunused state-owned real property,@ and direct the transfer and conveyance of such unused property, provided it is consistent with public interest. The Legislature could then direct the transfer and conveyance of such property to entities listed in statute as eligible recipients such as ports, utilities, other state agencies, cities, or counties. The value of such properties would be determined by the Legislature for Aadequate consideration,@ and would not require fair market value.
While the Legislature may possess the authority to direct the Department in the transfer and conveyance of unused properties, such decisions must be guided by clear criteria. This section does not set forth sufficient safeguards to determine how unused properties would be determined, how properties would be conveyed and transferred, or how values would be assigned to such properties.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Sections 215(2), 215(4), 217(9), 602 and 715.
With the exception of Sections 215(2), 215(4), 217(9), 602 and 715, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5352 is approved.

I am returning, without my approval as to Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5499 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to bond amounts for department of transportation highway contracts.
Section 2 of this bill requires the Governor to approve any contracts in which the Washington State Department of Transportation intends to authorize bonds in an amount less than the full contract price of the contract.
Section 1 of the bill requires the Office of Financial Management to approve risk guidelines developed by the Department of Transportation prior to authorizing bonds in an amount less than the full price of the contract. Section 1 also requires the Office of Financial Management to review and approve the decision of the Secretary of Transportation to authorize a bond in an amount less than the full price of the contract prior to proceeding with the contract. Approval from the Office of Financial Management of the risk guidelines, as well as review of pending contracts constitutes sufficient oversight by the Governor’s office of highway contract decisions. Requiring subsequent approval from the Governor is redundant and is not a necessary statutory requirement.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5499.
With the exception of Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5499 is approved.

Section 4 applies the Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW, to violations of this law. The Consumer Protection Act is ill suited to responding to these types of issues. Employment activities are already well regulated by the Department of Labor and Industries. Violations of this law would be better directed to the statutes administered by that agency.

To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval, Substitute Senate Bill 5286 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to exemptions from the WorkFirst program.
Under current law, the state may require a WorkFirst recipient with a child under one-year of age to get mental health treatment, alcohol or drug treatment, domestic violence services or parenting education even if the parent claims an exemption from participation in other WorkFirst activities. This bill gives the state the authority to require the parent to get help if needed, but reduces the state’s ability to require participation as a condition of keeping the grant. If a parent refuses to participate, the Department of Social and Health Services (Department) could seek a volunteer to serve as a protective payee. However, under the interpretation of RCW 74.08.280 to limit liability and as a best practice, the Department would use contracted protective payees resulting in additional cost to the state.
I remain concerned about limiting the Department’s ability to require a parent to receive treatment during the first ninety days. When I signed Second Substitute Senate Bill 6016 in 2007 creating the infant exemption, I signed the bill to support parents. Valuable time is lost if we wait three months to get a parent help with a drug or alcohol problem or domestic violence.
For these reasons I have vetoed Substitute Senate Bill 5286 in its entirety.

Sections 3 and 4 require agencies to use battery operated or electric small-scale powered equipment that is not yet available for commercial or heavy duty use, although it is available for home or light duty use. I am directing the Department of General Administration to examine landscaping policies on the Capitol Campus and develop and implement a plan that will reduce the carbon footprint of landscaping within the 2009-11 biennium, including a pilot project to showcase methods for Agreen landscaping@ of the Capitol Campus.

Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5854 provides a complete and thorough process to examine state buildings and, therefore, this additional provision is not needed at this time.

Section 3 creates the Washington health partnership advisory group and requires me to convene quarterly meetings of the group from October 2009 through June 2010. Creating in statute a new advisory group, even one of limited duration, is contrary to our recent effort to reduce the number of such groups across all of state government.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11, Second Substitute Senate Bill 5433 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to modifying provisions of local option taxes.
This bill allows local governments flexibility to better use current revenues sources and additional options for transportation funding. Sections 8 through 11 would have given transit agencies the option of asking voters for up to $20 per vehicle per year to expand local transit capacity and fund transit-related expenses. Local entities currently have authority under a transportation benefit district to impose a vehicle fee that can be used for transportation operating, maintenance and capital investments. In addition, the 2009-11 transportation budget appropriates funds to the Joint Transportation Committee to conduct a study of alternative revenue sources of transportation funding; so dedicating a specific revenue source now is premature and impacts future decision-making flexibility.
For these reason, I have vetoed Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Second Substitute Senate Bill 5433.

AAN ACT Relating to payment arrangements involving direct practices.
Section 4 would subject direct patient-provider primary care practices to the assessments used to fund the Washington State Health Insurance Pool. I am concerned that this requirement would increase the cost of such practices at the very time businesses and individuals are badly in need of more affordable health care options.
Section 5 would require a direct practice to submit its advertising and marketing materials to the Insurance Commissioner for approval at least thirty days prior to use. The bill fails to indicate, however, the criteria against which these materials would be reviewed. This section also duplicates protections existing in current law, imposing needless administrative expenses on both these practices and the Commissioner’s Office.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Sections 4 and 5 of Substitute Senate Bill 5436.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5734 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to tuition fees.
Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5734 is identical to Section 3 in Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2344 that I signed yesterday. Signing two bills with identical sections may cause confusion, so I am vetoing this iteration of the performance audit requirement.
For this reason, I have vetoed Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5734.
With the exception of Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5734 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5809
May 19, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 4, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5809 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to workforce employment and training.
I am vetoing Section 4 of this bill. The policy intent of the bill can be accomplished without the Legislature directing how the Governor’s discretionary Workforce Investment Act 10% fund is used. Although federal law does not prohibit the state Legislature from directing the Workforce Investment Act 10% funds, the approach taken by this bill would set an undesirable precedent.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 4 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate bill 5809.
With the exception of Section 4, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5809 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5913
May 19, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Section 1, Substitute Senate Bill 5913 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to online access to the University of Washington health sciences library by certain health care providers; and amending RCW 43.70.110 and 43.70.112.
I fully support the intent of this legislation, including its clarification that the existing surcharge to health care professionals should be assessed only once per year, regardless of the number of licenses a professional holds. Unfortunately, Section 1 also requires the Department of Health (Department) to create an ongoing, annual advisory group. Establishing new advisory groups in statute is contrary to our recent efforts to reduce the number of boards, commissions and advisory groups across all of state government. There are other, more efficient ways to keep interested parties informed and engaged on emerging issues.
Given the importance of this to many, I ask that Department pursue all available options to address the surcharge issue administratively. I also recommend that Department convene stakeholders to solicit feedback about the program and provide recommendations.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 1 of Substitute Senate Bill 5913.
With the exception of Section 1, Substitute Senate Bill 5913 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON SENATE BILL NO. 6168
May 19, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have approved, except for Sections 3, 4 and 8, Senate Bill 6168 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to reducing costs in state elementary and secondary education programs.
Sections 3 and 4 refer to the availability of funds as the determinate for whether these important programs are implemented. Because all programs are dependent on legislative appropriations, the addition of this language has no substantive effect. I am concerned, however, that future budget writers might erroneously conclude that these programs are in a different status than other programs and consider not funding them solely because of the addition of this new language. As a result, I have vetoed Sections 3 and 4 of Senate Bill 6168.
Section 8 of Senate Bill 6168 amends RCW 28A.625.020, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction annual recognition program. RCW 28A.625.020 is also repealed by Section 20(6) of Senate Bill 5889 which I signed earlier today. Therefore, I am not approving Section 8 of Senate Bill 6168 to correct a potential double amendment and conflicting policy.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Sections 3, 4 and 8 of Senate Bill 6168.
With the exception of Sections 3, 4 and 8, Senate Bill 6168 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINE O. GREGOIRE, Governor

VETO ON SENATE BILL 6181
May 19, 2009
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval, Senate Bill 6181 entitled:
AAN ACT Relating to the intensive resource home pilot.
This bill would extend for budget purposes the suspension of the intensive resource home pilot program created in 2008 and suspended in December of that year. However, Senate Bill 6181 amends RCW 74.13.800 which was repealed by section 97 of Second Substitute Senate Bill 2106 which I signed into law today. Therefore, the suspension is no longer necessary.
For this reason I have vetoed Senate Bill 6181 in its entirety.

CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION
OF
STEVAN ARTICE DOZIER
To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:
WHEREAS, Stevan A. Dozier was convicted on June 20, 1994, of robbery in the Second Degree under King County Superior Court Cause Number 94-1-01558-0 and sentenced to serve Life without the Possibility of Parole under Washington’s persistent offender law, the so-called AThree Strikes@ law.
WHEREAS, according to the court record, the crime leading to Mr. Dozier’s third strike occurred on February 1, 1994. At the age of thirty-three, Mr. Dozier robbed sixty-nine year old Mary Bedford of her wallet. Ms. Bedford was at the door of her apartment when Mr. Dozier asked her to tell him the time. When she responded, he pushed the door open, knocked her down, punched her in the face and took her wallet. Ms. Bedford sustained swollen lips and a sore jaw that prevented her from eating solid food for several weeks.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier’s second strike arose from two separate incidents of Robbery in the Second Degree. In March of 1988, Mr. Dozier approached Kristin Whiteaker as she waited for an elevator. He punched her in the face, took her purse and pushed her into the elevator before fleeing the scene. He later used her credit card to buy a watch, which he indicated he wanted to sell or trade for drugs. Later in the same month, Mr. Dozier approached Emily Magnuson while she sat in her car in a parking garage. He grabbed her face to physically restrain her while he reached in and stole her purse. Mr. Dozier pled guilty to both counts, receiving a 70 month prison sentence.
WHEREAS, the crime that lead to Mr. Dozier’s first strike conviction occurred in August of 1986 when he approached Patricia Garcia while she was getting into her car. Mr. Dozier reached into the car to grab her purse. When Ms. Garcia tried to stop him he pushed and hit her in the face, grabbed hold of the purse and ran away. Mr. Dozier pled guilty to Robbery in the Second Degree later that year and was sentenced to 17 months in prison.
WHEREAS, according to Mr. Dozier, the common cause for all his crimes was a drive to support his addiction to cocaine. Since being in prison, Mr. Dozier has participated in Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous and has been drug free for 14 years.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier is now forty-seven years old. To date, Mr. Dozier has been incarcerated on Cause No. 94-1-01558-0 since March 7, 1994, for a total time served to date, including pre-sentencing custody, of 182 months as of May 7, 2009, and has remained infraction free since 1997.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier unequivocally accepted legal responsibility and expressed remorse for, not only his crimes against Ms. Bedford, Ms. Garcia, Ms. Whiteaker and Ms. Magnuson, but all of his past crimes and deeply apologized for his actions to his victims, his family and the state of Washington at his 2008 Clemency Board hearing.
WHEREAS, following Mr. Dozier’s Clemency and Pardons Board hearing on December 11, 2008, the Board issued a unanimous recommendation in support of a commutation of Mr. Dozier’s Life without the Possibility of Parole to time served.
WHEREAS, King County Prosecutor Daniel Satterberg reviewed Mr. Dozier’s clemency request in the context of other early AThree Strikes@ cases prosecuted by the King County Prosecutor’s Office in 1994 and 1995, shortly after voters approved Initiative 593. In the course of that review, Mr. Satterberg observed that the King County Prosecutor’s Office charged and prosecuted the lowest ranking strike eligible offenses differently than they do today.
WHEREAS, Mr. Satterberg indicates that today the King County Prosecutor’s Office would seek a charge of Theft in the First Degree and an agreed sentence of ten years instead of Robbery in the Second Degree for an offender like Mr. Dozier facing a potential third strike to avoid what the Prosecutor’s Office would view as a disproportionate life sentence.
WHEREAS, in 1994, but for the persistent offender statute, Prosecutor Satterberg’s office would have sought a Robbery One charge for Mr. Dozier’s actions resulting in a sentence between 129 and 171 months for an offender with Mr. Dozier’s offender score.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier has now served more time in prison than either the agreed sentence that the Prosecutor’s Office would have otherwise charged today or the offense they would have charged in 1994 but for the persistent offender statute.
WHEREAS, Initiative 593 Section 5 indicated that A[nothing in this act shall ever be interpreted or construed as to reduce or eliminate the power of the governor to grant a pardon or clemency to any offender on an individual case-by-case basis.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier has shown considerable rehabilitation during his period of incarceration through his employment by Earth Ray industries, completing an anger and stress management program and basic custodial services program through Walla Walla Community College, courses in computer basics, safety awareness, and job dynamics through Edmonds community College, as well as participating in Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, the Concerned Lifers and Black Prisoners Caucus programs.
WHEREAS, Mr. Dozier has received extraordinary community support in his petition for clemency from numerous community leaders, including King County Councilman Larry Gossett; King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg; John Carlson, co-author of the three strikes law; Judge Brian Gain, the trial judge for Mr. Dozier’s third strike case as well as his wife and other family members.
WHEREAS, supporters for Mr. Dozier have indicated that he has an opportunity upon his release for employment at Hassie May Services.
WHEREAS, Stevan Dozier appears to have used his 15 years in prison to mature into an articulate, responsible and rehabilitated man. Moreover, his service and activities indicate that he appears to be someone who can make a positive and lasting impact on his community.
WHEREAS, I have reviewed all pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding this matter, the circumstances of the crime, comments favoring release of Mr. Dozier, comments opposing Mr. Dozier’s release, and the favorable recommendations of the King County Prosecutor and the Washington State Clemency and Pardons Board and, in light of the foregoing, I have determined that the best interests of justice will be served by this action.
WHEREAS, the victim, detective and trial prosecutor who have spoken against Mr. Dozier’s petition have done so based on their knowledge of Mr. Dozier in 1994. The record and testimony at the Clemency Board hearing, as well as other information received from Department of Corrections personnel who have interacted with Mr. Dozier over the last fifteen years, indicate that Mr. Dozier has dramatically changed his ways during the time of his incarceration and is by all accounts rehabilitated.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Christine O. Gregoire, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington under Article III Section 9 of the Washington State Constitution, RCW 9.94A.885 and RCW 9.95.260, hereby grant to Stevan A. Dozier a Conditional Commutation of the remainder of his sentence subject to his acceptance of a term of Community Custody of twenty-four months, ending May 7, 2011, and compliance with the following conditions during the term of his Community Custody, all of which commence as of May 7, 2009:
Mr. Dozier shall:
1. Report regularly to a community corrections officer as directed by the Department of Corrections;
2. Pay a monthly supervision fee as directed by the community corrections officer;
3. Participate in Department of Corrections approved education, employment and/or community service;
4. Receive prior approval from the Department of Corrections for living arrangements and residence location;
5. Notify the Department of Corrections prior to any changes of address or employment;
6. Remain in the geographic area as directed by the community corrections officer;
7. Not possess, receive, ship, or transport a firearm, ammunition or explosives;
8. Not possess or use any controlled substances without a prescription;
9. Submit to regular and random urinalysis and breathalyzer testing, as directed by the community corrections officer;
10. Participate in substance abuse and/or chemical dependency evaluation as directed by the community corrections officer and complete any recommendations from such evaluation;
11. Participate in chemical dependency and substance abuse support groups, as directed by the community corrections officer;
12. Not associate with any drug users or dealers;
13. Have no direct contact with any of his victims or their families;
14. Participate in electronic monitoring, if deemed appropriate by the community corrections officer;
15. Participate in any mental health evaluation as recommended by the community corrections officer and complete any recommendations from such evaluation;
16. Participate in the Youth At Risk or other similar community service program, as directed by the community corrections officer; and
17. Comply with all standard conditions, recommendations, and instructions of community placement as directed by the community corrections officer.
PROVIDED that Mr. Dozier shall remain under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and follow explicitly conditions established by that agency during the term of his Community Custody. Violation of any of the above conditions shall result in sanctions as deemed appropriate by the Department of Corrections and may result in the termination of this Conditional Commutation as provided below. The Department may require Mr. Dozier to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants and/or detain Mr. Dozier if he violates a condition.
ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED that in the event Mr. Dozier is convicted anywhere at any time of any offense the elements of which would classify the crime as a gross misdemeanor or felony in the state of Washington or any violation of the conditions of this Conditional Commutation as determined by the Governor, this Conditional Commutation is revoked without notice and the sentence of the court reinstated, whereupon Mr. Dozier will be immediately returned to the Washington Corrections Center or any such facility as the Secretary of the Department of Corrections deems appropriate. The Department of Corrections shall provide a written report to the Clemency and Pardons Board regarding any violation of this Conditional Commutation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the State of Washington to be affixed at Olympia on this 6th day of May, A.D., two thousand and nine.

CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION
OF
GERALD SALVENZO HANKERSON
To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:
WHEREAS, Gerald S. Hankerson was convicted on April 22, 1988, of First-Degree Aggravated Murder under King County Superior Court Cause No. 87-1-05055-2 and sentenced to serve Life Without the Possibility of Parole stemming from the killing of Nai Vang Saeturn, an immigrant from Laos.
WHEREAS, according to the court record on May 18, 1987, at the age of 18, Mr. Hankerson and another man, Mr. Mitchell, observed Nai Vang Saeturn depart from a supermarket in Seattle. Mr. Hankerson and Mr. Mitchell followed Mr. Saeturn from the store. After a short distance, Mr. Hankerson blocked Mr. Saeturn’s path while Mr. Mitchell grabbed Mr. Saeturn from behind and slashed his throat. Mr. Saeturn began to scream and attempted to flee from his attackers, but Mr. Hankerson and Mr. Mitchel pursued him and caught Mr. Saeturn about a half block later. Mr. Hankerson held Mr. Saeturn while Mr. Mitchell beat Mr. Saeturn with brass knuckles and stabbed him in the back before emptying Mr. Saeturn’s pockets.
WHEREAS, following Mr. Hankerson’s Clemency and Pardons Board hearing in June 2006, the Board issued a unanimous recommendation in support of a conditional commutation of Mr. Hankerson’s Life Without the Possibility of Parole sentence once he had served additional time, which they calculated to be completed December 2008.
WHEREAS, Mr. Hankerson informed members of King County Prosecutor Satterberg’s staff that he unequivocally accepted legal responsibility and expressed remorse for his role in Mr. Saeturn’s murder and deeply apologized for his actions to the Saeturn family at his 2006 Clemency Board hearing.
WHEREAS, based in part on Prosecutor Satterberg’s opposition to Mr. Hankerson’s request for clemency in 2006, I denied Mr. Hankerson’s request for clemency in 2007, but invited him to repetition for clemency in 2010.
WHEREAS, Prosecutor Satterberg reconsidered his 2006 opposition and in November of 2008 recommended clemency based on Mr. Hankerson’s acceptance of responsibility for his conduct, the length of time he has already served and the positive contributions he could make to society. Prosecutor Satterberg also stated in a November 2008 letter that if the case came to his office today, it is unlikely that Aggravated Murder charges would be filed against Mr. Hankerson or a life sentence sought. Under current standards, Prosecutor Satterberg indicated that a charge of Murder in the First Degree would be applied.
WHEREAS, had Mr. Hankerson been convicted of the charge of Murder in the First Degree in this case instead of Aggravated Murder in the First Degree, he would have faced a Standard Range Sentence of 261 to 347 months in prison based on an Offender Score of 2 under the 1988 Sentencing Reform Act with the possibility of earned early release time for good behavior as early as 2006.
WHEREAS, pursuant to former RCW 9.94A.120(8) Mr. Hankerson would have been sentenced to Community Placement upon release from prison on a Murder in the First Degree conviction. If Mr. Hankerson had earned Agood time@ while serving his sentence, Mr. Hankerson’s Community Placement would have been ordered in the form of Community Custody. Under former RCW 9.94A.120 Mr. Hankerson’s Community Custody would have allowed him to be released to a less restrictive alternative to that of incarceration including living back in the community but would have subjected him to controls placed on an inmate by the Department of Corrections and close monitoring by Department officials.
WHEREAS, Mr. Hankerson is now forty years old. To date, Mr. Hankerson has been incarcerated on Cause No. 87-1-05055-2 since December 7, 1987, for a total time served to date of 267 total months, as of April 7, 2009 and has remained infraction free since 2002, including the period following my 2007 denial of his petition for clemency.
WHEREAS, Mr. Hankerson has shown considerable rehabilitation through his service to organizations within the Department of Corrections, including Co-founder of the At Risk Youth Program; Vice-President of the Concerned Lifers Organization (which he also integrated racially); Chairman of the Black Prisoners Caucus; Class Facilitator for the Prison Awareness Project; and Class Coordinator for Seattle University’s Campus Ministry. In addition, through his dedication to community service, Mr. Hankerson has positively influenced lives beyond prison walls; as a result, the Seattle/King County Branch of the NAACP awarded him its 2008 Community Service Award.
WHEREAS, Mr. Hankerson has received extraordinary community support in his petition for clemency from numerous community leaders, including King County Councilman Larry Gossett, the leadership of the local NAACP and several local churches and faith communities including Salishan/Eastside Lutheran Mission, Freedom Church of Seattle, New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, United Black Christian Clergy Association of Washington, and Buddhist Chaplaincy Services.
WHEREAS, supporters for Mr. Hankerson have indicated that he has an opportunity upon his release for employment at Puyallup Nissan.
WHEREAS, Hankerson appears to have used his 20 years in prison to mature into an articulate, responsible and rehabilitated man. Moreover, his service and activities indicate that he appears to be someone who can make a positive and lasting impact on his community.
WHEREAS, I have reviewed all pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding this matter, the circumstances of the crime, comments favoring release of Mr. Hankerson, comments opposing Mr. Hankerson’s release, and the favorable recommendations of the King County Prosecutor and the Washington State Clemency and Pardons Board and, in light of the foregoing, I have determined that the best interests of justice will be served by this action.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Christine O. Gregoire, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the State of Washington under Article III, Section 9 of the Washington State Constitution, RCW 9.94A.885 and RCW 9.95.260, hereby grant to Gerald S. Hankerson a Conditional Commutation of the remainder of his sentence subject to his acceptance of a term of Community Custody of eighty months, ending December 9, 2015, and compliance with the following conditions during the term of his Community Custody, all of which commence as of April 9, 2009:
Mr. Hankerson shall:
1. Report regularly to a community corrections officer as directed by the Department of Corrections;
2. Pay a monthly supervision fee as directed by the community corrections officer;
3. Participate in Department of Corrections approved education, employment and/or community service;
4. Receive prior approval from the Department of Corrections for living arrangements and residence location;
5. Notify the Department of Corrections prior to any changes of address or employment;
6. Remain in the geographic area as directed by the community corrections officer;

8. Not possess or use any controlled substances without a prescription;

10. Participate in substance abuse and/or chemical dependency evaluation as directed by the community corrections officer and complete any recommendations from such evaluation;
11. Participate in chemical dependency and substance abuse support groups, as directed by the community corrections officer;
12. Not associate with any drug users or dealers;
13. Have no direct contact with any members of the victim’s family;
14. Participate in electronic monitoring, if deemed appropriate by the community corrections officer;
15. Participate in any mental health evaluation as recommended by the community corrections officer and complete any recommendations from such evaluation;
16. Participate in the Youth At Risk or other similar community service program, as directed by the community corrections officer;
17. Comply with all standard conditions, recommendations, and instructions of community placement as directed by the community corrections officer.
PROVIDED that Mr. Hankerson shall remain under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and follow explicitly conditions established by that agency during the term of his Community Custody. Violation of any of the above conditions shall result in sanctions as deemed appropriate by the Department of Corrections and may result in the termination of this Conditional Commutation as provided below. The Department may require Mr. Hankerson to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants and/or detain Mr. Hankerson if he violates a condition.
ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED that in the event Mr. Hankerson is convicted anywhere at any time of any offense the elements of which would classify the crime as a gross misdemeanor or felony in the state of Washington or any violation of the conditions of this Conditional Commutation as determined by the Governor, this Conditional Commutation is revoked without notice and the sentence of the court reinstated, whereupon Mr. Hankerson will be immediately returned to the Washington Corrections Center or any such facility as the Secretary of the Department of Corrections deems appropriate. The Department of Corrections shall provide a written report to the Clemency and Pardons Board regarding any violation of this Conditional Commutation.
