Hello Hly2004.

To broker means to arrange the details of an arrangement, especially between different countries.

Therefore it must mean that Karen Fraser had the language in the state budget arranged in a way that suspended the legal action, and gave Thurston County until June 30, 2006.

Oh sorry, I did not see that Mister Micawber almost wrote the same.

But anyway. Nobody has ever turned ill over hearing the same thing twice
