Christine Gregoire
The funding section of article includes "In late 2011 Washington governor Christine Gregoire released a budget proposal stripping all state funding for domestic violence and women's shelters across Washington State.", BUT checking the sole reference seems to mention Gregoire only once (about her signing sentencing House Bill 2777 into law), with word-search getting no match for "budget" nor "funding", one match for "fund" (re UNICEF), and main instance of "2011" is "new sentencing  structure  becomes effective in August 2011". Also, i did some Google News searches and could find no news source(s) for the accusation. Did regular Google searches for less time and the top matches just seemed to be pages copy-pasting the Wikipedia article (EDIT: except with dispute templates stripped out and some with references stripped out). The ref (Seattle University Law Review) is cool, and maybe should be used elsewhere in article. (just NOT for this possibly libelous text about Gregoire) --EarthFurst (talk) 21:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Closest I've found so far is https://lihi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/housingwashingtonmarch2009.pdf (PAGE 3) with a Gregoire proposed budget released in 2008 with eliminating some programs and reduced funding to others, BUT i see no mention of women's shelters. --EarthFurst (talk) 23:44, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
