governor hickenlooper and i work a lot together and governor dalrymple and governor herbert on issued in our state, but anyway that we can come together and collaborate, we think we are a strong force because while washington many times has in action, a lot of uncertainty, we have governors cannot afford the because we have to balance our budgets, we have to create jobs and improve education, so we are all about learning from each other and trying to find those best ways to do it. governor? >> just to add a point, i think nga is one of those rare but great opportunities for governors to work together on policy. it does not happen enough, is a greatd it opportunity. and i can talk to john hickenlooper about common goals that we have for colorado in north dakota. 98% of what we talk about we're going to agree on how to go about it, and so we have a form here where we can simply talk policy. we believe that policy is powerful. ,t really is what creates resolves. mary fallin was a chair of our national lieutenant-governor said one time as was i, and we are still believers that if we talk

colorado's governor john hickenlooper now projects the state will get millions of dollars in boominge than the state had originally projected. obviously, pretty popular out there. but washington state's law has a more complicated system of regulations. growers and sellers are licensed separately. actual sales don't start until june, and this week, regulators reduced the number of licensed pot farms. a handful of cities, in fact, have enacted their own bans on recreational use of the drug. governor insly, good morning to you, sir. >> it is a good morning. >> it is. we have pleasant weather here. thanks for bringing it, i guess, we should -- obviously, you're here with a bunch of governors. but i do want to start with the marijuana issue. are you -- it feels as if -- and i'm watching the way colorado implemented the law and the way you guys are implementing the law -- it seems as if you guys -- the lawmakers in washington state are a little hesitant to be implementing this law in the first place. are you hesitant to be doing this? >> well, no, we're going to follow the law. the voters
