 Notice the clever reference to Field Of Dreams? Unfortuantly, that baseball field didn't cost $86 million, and wasn't a waste of student money...You get where we're going with this? The reviews are in and The Cub is nice and all...but not worth it...check inside for more...

Tonight we asked Governor Gregiore about her thoughts on the proposal by UW that the state give it $150 million for Husky stadium. Not surprisingly she did not answer directly if she supports it. She did say that for it to have a chance of happening UW would have to show and stress that the current stadium is not safe. She also referred to “research/studies” commissioned by UW administrators that will show the stadium will bring in more money for local businesses than it costs. We then asked her wouldn’t that money be spent anyway if UW just played in the $400 million+ Qwest Field, she replied very firmly that the UW board/administrators “would never do that.”
The Governor was quick to point out that the Husky stadium situation was different than the Sonics/Key Arena situation and she seemed more receptive to helping UW. This being said, we asked her this question at an event 1 mile away from the UW campus so being a politician we would are not surprised that she would at least sound receptive to an idea when she is in an area that would favor it. Of course it is doubtful that she will ever have to deal with it as the legislature has not been keen to take up this issue and only a few of its members are active backers of a funding proposal.
Bottom line is she doesn’t ever think that UW will agree to play at Qwest. If no money comes from the legislature, UW might be forced to actually pay for their own stadium, what a radical idea!

Washington State
University Professor Elizabeth Siler wants to have a 20cent fee on each plastic bag retail outlets give out.
From KXLY:
Reuse, renew, and recycle. That's the message one Pullman resident
is trying push to neighbors over plastic bag usage at area stores.
The movement is being spearheaded by Pullman resident and Washington State
University Professor Elizabeth Siler. Siler is asking the Pullman City Council
to require a 20-cent fee on each plastic bag used in all retail outlets.
Siler is asking for residents to sign a petition to take in front of the city
council. So far approximately 100 people have signed the petition.
If passed by the city council Pullman would join the growing list of cities
who are passing grocery bag taxes. Seattle recently passed a grocery bag
tax and Portland is not far behind. San Francisco and Los Angeles have
completely banned plastic bags in all grocery outlets.
Siler will present the petition to the Pullman City Council at the end of
August.
