Washington Alliance for a Competitive Economy Report

I ran across a very interesting 2004 report on how Washington State plans to increase its economic competitiveness. It's called the Washington Alliance for a Competitive Economy report. Here is the vision statement from the report:

"Washington must be a state where business can operate cost-effectively, and a state that does not shirk its responsibility to invest adequately in infrastructure and education. It must be a place that preserves environmental quality and minimizes costly and unnecessary regulatory burdens that block capital investment. It must also be a place that cultivates cutting-edge R&D, nurtures the emergence of dynamic knowledge industries, and sustains existing technology firms while recognizing the importance and unrealized potential of agricultural, natural resources and manufacturing industries."
