By newsdesk - Posted on March 3rd, 2008
February 29, 2008 -- OLYMPIA – Washington Governor Chris Gregoire today expressed her disappointment that the Department of Defense chose not to award Boeing with the contract to build the next generation of Air Force tankers.
“This is unfortunate news for Boeing and the state of Washington. Boeing and its workers build the best planes in the world. They will continue to enjoy great success with their 787 Dreamliner and other innovative products still to come.
“The company is a valued corporate citizen of our state, and I look forward to working with them in the future. In the coming days, Boeing executives will be debriefed by the Department of Defense on what happened. I look forward to hearing from Boeing on the results of that briefing.”
