    Creating a new agency, responsible only to the governor, as this bill would do, is contrary to the intent of the framers of Washington state's constitution.  It follows a trend developing in America, as executives of cities and state seek to take over the educational mechanism.  It is contrary to the interests of Washington's citizens and should not be passed.

    This new department is not something we want, taking over the educational mechanism is a strategy made by some politicians in their own interests, at least I am glad that the Arizona Truck Driving Schools are not transferred to this department. Hope our politicians won`t vote for this bill, if they do then I am moving from Washington in another county.
