January 29th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 16

It’s been a really busy day … after having several meetings with constituents, I’m in the Local Government Committee where we’re hearing three bills. House Bill 1217 supposedly strengthening the integrity, fairness and equity in Washington’s property assessment system. The bill would require people who challenge their property valuation of commercial property to submit pertinent information 30 days prior to the hearing.

House Bill 1239 grants water-sewer districts the authority to exclusively exercise powers that cities and towns have pertaining to permitting, design, construction, inspection, and approval of facilities that are critical infrastructure for the functions of water works and systems of sewerage and drainage. House bill 1241 authorizes water-sewer districts, in addition to cities and towns, to fix and determine the amount of a public works contractor's surety bond and to whom the bond shall run.

Following this committee meeting I have a 3:30 Appropriations Committee meeting to get further briefed on the Governor’s proposed budget.
