Health bill challenge heats up

With Washington's Legislature still marking time for a budget-and-tax agreement to emerge, the spotlight this week has been on legislation passed and signed in the Other Washington. Attorney General Rob McKenna signed onto a multistate constitutional challenge, touching off a barrage of criticism from Gov. Chris Gregoire, Democratic legislators and Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler , who support the legislation as signed by President Obama. An excellent primer on the respective views of Republican McKenna and Democrat Kreidler is this Austin Jenkins pair of interviews on TVW's Inside Olympia. Runs about 58 minutes for the whole show.
