the autocrat gets the final word

"The people have spoken," says KOMO. When it comes to the state quarter design, the people want bland, a leaping salmon coin that looks like every other two-bit piece in circulation.
But that's not the final word. Gov. Chris Gregoire will decide the ultimate winner this month, with a formal announcement planned for the summer after approval from the U.S. Mint. The quarter is slated for release in 2007.
Show your mettle, Gregoire. Go orca!
