Washington Governor Ferguson Criticizes Microsoft's Political Ad Campaign

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson voiced displeasure with a political ad campaign run by Microsoft that targets the state government. Speaking to business leaders, he questioned the accuracy of the ad's claim about how the state's environment has changed. Ferguson pushed back on the criticism by pointing to substantial startup funding raised in Seattle as evidence of a healthy business climate. He also stressed that Microsoft and the state should work together, since both stand to benefit from cooperation.
