As Attorney General, Governor Gregoire did not properly enforce the Washington State medical marijuana law 69.51A.
As Attorney General, Governor Gregoire allowed 16 or more Washington State Counties, to enforce County laws over State law 69.51A.
County laws are subordinate to State General laws.
The Washington State attorney General failed to challenge a declaration of separate sovereignty by 16 Washington State Counties.
During Governor Gregoire's tenure as Washington State Attorney General, 16 Counties of Washington State were able to enforce subordinate laws, without any challenge by the Washington State Attorney General.

RCW 9.92.120
Conviction of public officer forfeits trust.
The conviction of a public officer of any felony or malfeasance in office shall entail, in addition to such other penalty as may be imposed, the forfeiture of his office, and shall disqualify him from ever afterward holding any public office in this state.
I get used to a person's handle (the conservative side of me) and don't want it to change.
