look at that economic gardening plan to have to under 50,000 new jobs and to be created in the last month . we should be proud of that achievement. an increase in the graduation rate by 25 percent in moving forward as a model for the nation and what is happening here is happening statewide. and increasing early childhood education we're the only states in the country that has reduced to what to overhaul how -- tuition at public schools. we have rebuilt the red mountain interchange and highway 12 so those that i
1:34 am
helped to get past. we're also finishing the freeway to engage a the most infrastructure really program so i am looking for this discussion and it should keep the ball rolling >> moderator: before we begin questioning there is a way you can participate you can decide the subject matter later this hour. with homelessness and small business to check back with those results to determine the questions. >> moderator: began.
1:35 am
and to be shot and killed and was captured on video. and to press charges which requires proof that was say. >> most talked-about the environment which we live. we are living in an environment and that is that healthy for any of us for us to resistant gather in a community with a relationship for law enforcement. we need to make sure we have trust with the law-enforcement and that is
1:36 am
undermining democracy. when and when there is a problem in there is a task force looking at all facets of the difficult issue. that involves law enforcement and advocates a look forward whether or not they need to change its legislation. and dealing with racial divide we have more work to do. a any family to loses any one of any race. i am proud lion endorsed by a every one in this race and
1:37 am
i have their endorsement. furloughs to put on a bad and go into harm's way need our support. but we do need to examine the accountability statute. n.v. have to do this to prevent shootings in the first place. to d escalate the problems to have one of the best criminal justice training centers. but we have to make sure in 2017 to prevent these tragedies. >> the final piece of the mandate is to end the over reliance on the local levies that pay for teachers salaries which is the state's obligation to you agree with the concept of the l. levy blocked where vocal property tax levies
1:38 am
are lowered and the state property tax is raised to solve this problem? >> i believe in improving the education of our students to put many into what we're doing for kids so now we take the last gap like climbing mount everest we have to get the rest of the way to the summit. but there is a way to have a swap in the solution set and then make that up with the states levy but we should not confuse this with the proposal to raise the property taxes in the state of washington. under their proposal it would raise that property-tax is for half of the people in the state but put no money into local schools.
1:39 am
bet robust economic growth. and i was shocked to say we can just kick the can down the road and the wide-eyed is shocking we have a bipartisan commitment and now working on a task force we have to get this done in 2017. >> moderator: we're you? bryant: we didn't hear is that there is no plan. four years ago governor inslee said he had a plan but he didn't but the governor took out television
1:40 am
ads to attack him but he promised after being elected in 2013 but then he had no plan. or 20142015 he vowed action but 2016 just set up the committee to work on it before 2017 it met five times then governor made half of one of those meeting said he has no plan. he is not engaged. delivering a plan in this legislative session is one of the primary reasons i am running for governor. but the first is equity. with the rich school districts provide kids with programs that they're not able to provide. not only unconstitutional but under the plan we will insure there is equity regardless of where they grow up to have the same
1:41 am
amount of money spent on them. under my plan to spend 50% on education. the third is innovation. we can expect to do this thing get where we want to go one to reinvent last two years. so preprinted ship programs for kids don't want to go on to college. and this is what we have to deal with through 2020. >> moderator: i will follow-up because i did not get a clear answer. probably the single biggest problem you deal with with the levees. where are you with lowering local property taxes and raising say property-tax is to solve the over reliance from the supreme court?
1:42 am
bryant: we have a situation with the world districts paid 5,000 - - $5 per thousand and wealthier districts pay $1.20 and those in the port district even though it is $5 cannot generate enough money for the same programs for those in the richer districts can. what would like to do is look at a hybrid model based on massachusetts with equal property taxes across all districts. it doesn't go to olympia and then get sent back to his days in the district but the state insurance every kid will have the same amount of money. >> moderator: you have said with l. levy blocked please clarify what that would look like. inslee: it is complicated by will attempt in 60 seconds. we can reduce the local
1:43 am
levies of high property-tax areas and also reduce the levy and lower property tax areas thereby reducing but regional they do with it so much that increase the property-tax is i don't believe people be acceptable to have apprenticeship programs. we're starting in the apprenticeship program we have a full day kindergarten starting this year. reducing class sizes. and because of e.f. counterweigh to put that into our duties.
1:44 am
>> federal court ruling of the systems that elected three latinas to the city council. with that representation of the population. so what would make this easier what are your reviews greg. >> we need to have been where every vote counts and they believe their vote counts dr. king said when they separate from that they don't feel that obligation and when that happens the contents of our democracy we need a vibrant democracy that we will have to rearrange some everyone votes counts that is why
1:45 am
what legislation for the city of pasco so a everyone can be equally represented. we have a bigger problem than the electoral lines. only 30 percent graduate from high school. , they're more likely to be frustrated or have health problems of that is the case to be divorced from our community. that means focus on high-school graduation rates. but during the transition with the minority educators and leaders will put together a for your initiative to increase high-school graduation rates. i fully support the washington state voting rights act over the objections in this is
1:46 am
healthy for democracy. in demonstrably shown. we now have three young latina as. but in order to facilitate that to begin easier for communities to embrace that effort to give people the ability to have their neighborhood decided will represent them we need that voting rights act for that chapter. can we do need people to get early childhood education. we have 7,000 new kids i was delighted to see spanish-speaking ken learning english. i love the fact they will
1:47 am
get full day kindergarten and we will have smaller class sizes. the courage of these kids is pretty amazing. with say have a good teacher with a smaller classroom good things can happen. >> moderator: joining us tonight are four local journalist. >> this was submitted on-line. last month five people were killed in mass shooting in burlington at the cascade mall. if the suspected shooter is found guilty and sentenced to death when to lift the moratorium to allow the sentence to proceed? >> this tragedy hits our hearts by has spoken to them
1:48 am
with our deliberations of the death penalty i have met with victims of the crimes and some who are in my position in some disagree strongly. but the position i take apollos the fundamental precept equal justice under law. i have done a lot of research about the death penalty and i found disturbing things the fact is that it is not anywhere close to be used in an equitable measure. one person gets life the of their pursing gets that. and i don't know what you believe of that philosophical aspect and both are sincere we have to have a system that is equal. and the word death penalty
1:49 am
is grossly inequitable. because the cost to much is a lot cheaper to put someone in jail for the rest of their life then to go through 20 years. so we need in equitable system and to have a moratorium. >> moderator: are you for the death penalty? bryant: i am very confused about what the governor did. this seems like he woke up without talking to any prosecutors or victims decided to impose a moratorium on the death penalty. but i use justing would pardon the person or set aside the conviction? and and very uncomfortable
1:50 am
to take life but i do not pick and choose which to enforce and ignore. as long as it is the law in washington's d i will follow it. >> speaking of the court systems currently there are two lawsuits filed against the department of energy. in the other about worker protection from chemical vapors what is the best way to achieve clean up in the support that. bryant: now is spending part of the day talking to people about that. during this campaign have learned of what to meet with
1:51 am
people from all sides of the issue. employees in previous employees and contractors and to understand from all perspectives what is going on and why we fall so far behind. all have different perspectives but there are three elements that bring true. first the governor is not engaged and they say we really need gubernatorial leadership. second comedy is focused so much this ignores the fact we have a bigger and immediate threat for some of the properties of the 120 yards from the river and to your point back to relegate this issue to the attorney general we are mired in litigation because that is what the attorney general does. because we have so much litigation the parties cannot talk to each other how to move forward and because we're so focused
1:52 am
about getting the lawsuit to issue a press release to say that we won and we are not talking how to move up the time frame to clean up the mess as governor want to provide that leadership not lawsuits. >> moderator: the taxpayers are paying to prosecute and defend so what you say to people who believe the money is better spent quite. >> i totally agree. but had been working on this for about two decades. a member of the hanford caucus and is far is not talking to another one pdf
1:53 am
about five weeks in seattle. we are very engaged were but frankly the federal government the people of the tri-cities are the most skilled workers in the world they have removed 500 square miles of the plateau they have a great plan petition not be exposed to radioactive material. workers for just expose just the edward j. to provide aid mechanism to hold feet to the fire to battle that appropriation that battle has to be one if they can finance the project. sometimes litigation is necessary working with the federal partners to be
1:54 am
assistant have done their part. >> no to go to our first microsoft question and homelessness in safety then women's issues 13%. so governor inslee our experience with homelessness has reached a crisis level will the states appoint a homeless czar to take charge of this issue and organize and coordinate? inslee: we have increased coordination one of the first ignited is to focus priorities on news homelessness because of my wife's leadership we pass to you for homelessness bill that will coordinate activities across multiple
1:55 am
agencies to deal with the use of homelessness. and dates of our family members. to get back on their feet. whiff low income housing stock. and saved others second we have fled the country that is a program with transitional housing when we get the permanent housing much more rapidly. so now they start to follow our lead in this will be very helpful. when i came in there 1400 veterans said that that was inexcusable so we went to
1:56 am
work we house to them but guess what now there is more veterans have become homeless. why? because of the addiction problems we will integrate mental physical systems to have better addiction treatment. but rent is going up and wages are not a return of durant goes up $100 homelessness close-up 15%. we can increase the minimum wage. but 30% are working full time. and then to support a minimum wage increase. stake is the timeframe homelessness are quite. >> no. we need a governor. this is a very important issue. [applause] >> moderator: please to not applied -- applies.
1:57 am
>> long before iran for office always volunteered night manager at a homeless shelter i understand reasons why people are homeless. we do not have a coordinated approach when there is no coordination between the cities or the states in the past and up and. we are spending twice as much on homelessness but yet it has exploded as somebody said we have a problem it is only gotten bigger than i see you're not doing your job. then we will do six things but first it will be zero tolerance and second give local law-enforcement to feel that criminal element to allow them to clean them up when necessary.
1:58 am
looking at how they spend the state money and in seattle be spent between 10 and 14,000 per homeless person we need to make sure that we can spend this well and more permanent housing that will require looking now building codes for those were looking to get back on their feet and also provide mental health care it is ranked 50th and then coordinate between the department of commerce and not be consolidated. >> the issue is health care. the insurance plan star on november 1st. to of the united health have withdrawn from the marketplace next year the
1:59 am
average increase will be 13% what will you do to slow the premium increase? >> this is a huge issue for whoever walks into the governor's office. if we don't get a handle on the health care or medicaid costs, in 10 years in a disproportionate amount of our budget. we need to make sure the health care system works and it is not. what people say the premiums going up and coverage down that is not a path for word. what i hear from patients and doctors to have a marketplace that works well you have to provide a real tug information so they to make informed decisions to communicate about what their choices are and we don't have that. we also need to combine
