Good afternoon!
The E-wire is down with
Legislative Director Sherry Krainick making appointments in Olympia and meeting
with our legislators. The mood is quiet down here and for the first time
in a long while, the Code Reviser’s Office isn't slammed the week before
session. This could be a trend, or it could be the calm before the storm
on Friday at noon which is the deadline for bills to be introduced on the first
day of the legislative session. Time will tell, and we will check back
with our friends at the Pritchard Library later in the week for an
update. No education bills have been released today, so onto the E-Wire!
