Washington State Receives "A" Grade for Governor's Financial Disclosure



July 19, 2007 By

The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) today released a report giving only Washington state an "A" grade for providing detailed information on the governor's personal income and investments.

The report went on to say that state governors have broad influence over legislation and executive branch decisions and potential conflicts of interest should be exposed.

Four states -- Idaho, Michigan, Utah and Vermont -- require no financial disclosures, said CPI.  Those states -- and 17 others -- received an "F" in the rankings.
