OLYMPIA — Gov. Chris Gregoire has made a rare appearance before a state legislative committee to urge a stronger climate change measure aimed at cutting pollution.

Gregoire, testifying Tuesday before the House ecology and parks committee, said Washington needs to take the lead in shaping a cap and trade program to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

The Senate passed a measure last week that guts much of the governor's initial proposal. That bill, which now awaits House committee action, doesn't set a cap on emissions but asks the state to study the issue more.
