Ritter dines at the White House
The Ritter-Bush mini-summit I mentioned yesterday only sort of happened. The Denver Post reports:
In the White House's state dining room, Bush toasted Ritter and the nation's other governors, pledging that they could "do big things" together.
With the festivities over, Ritter returned to the White House on Monday with a list of Colorado issues he wanted to discuss. In particular, he wanted to press Bush about funding for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden.
He never got the chance. Instead, Ritter experienced the slow pace of working in Washington on issues important to states.
But the assembled governors were able to attempt to communicate their concerns with National Guard deployment and No Child Left Behind.
