I had the opportunity to work with Senator Bailey over the last 4 years when she was a member of the House. I think she provides a good breakdown of some of the issues with House Bill 1817.

"The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it."

E2SSB 5802 creates the Climate Legislative and Executive Work Group and commissions a report to evaluate approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill passed 61 to 32 with 5 excused.
What a way to start the week … passing a bill to do something the Governor can do without any Legislative approval. Hey Governor, how about regulatory reform or something to promote economic development? I guess we know what your priorities are, Governor.

Just another example of the different feel this Legislative Session has, there were a lot of committee meetings cancelled this week and there have been several"work sessions” scheduled for next week. I had no committee work today, so I’m working through some budgetary issues. I’m looking forward to seeing Molly and Tiffany tonight … it’s been a long week.
The revenue forecast this week was mixed, so it will be interesting to see what kind and how many tax increases the House Democrat Majority bring forward in the coming weeks. The fact remains the same; the taxpayers of Washington State do not need to send more money to Olympia. The Legislature must return to the Priorities of Government and prioritize spending based on the Constitution.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Did Washington State House Democrats Make A Backroom Deal With Boeing? | RedState

"Could it be that a back room deal was made between the Democrats and Boeing? What if Boeing promised to make off season campaign donations to key Democrats in the House? What if the Democrats offered to kill the bill in exchange for Boeing’s public support of legislation that’s bound to be wildly unpopular with Washington voters, like a massive hike on the State gas tax? Would that shock you?"

Please take a look at the latest House Introduction Sheet and pay attention to House Bills 2003 through 2015 … all are title only bills.

After a nice weekend of sunshine and family, I’m back in Olympia. I taped a radio show with Reps Matt Shea and Jason Overstreet and now I’m in the Appropriations Committee hearing four bills.

Senate Bill 5121 establishes requirements related to collector vehicles in provisions governing local government authorizations for the abatement and removal of junk vehicles as public nuisances from private property.
Senate Bill 5186 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 and makes several technical changes, such as removing outdated language and fixing a reference to recodified law.
Senate Bill 5323 authorizes cities and towns to declare by ordinance what is deemed a nuisance within the city or town, to abate any such nuisances, and to levy a special assessment on the land or premises on which a nuisance is situated to recover the costs of abatement and establishes that an assessment levied against property for the costs of abatement constitutes a lien against the property.

After several long days, House of Origin Cutoff is here. We’re still watching 1588 very closely and it sounds like at least a couple of key Democrats are still pushing to run it. We’re also asking Speaker Chopp to run HB 1771, Drones … please call the Speakers Office and ask him to run this important piece of Legislation.
I really want to thank everyone for all their hard work ... please keep it up.

"Washington state has led the way in many respects when it comes to the drone issue, something we highlighted recently in my article: Just Say NO: Seattle Residents Kill the City’s Drone Program. It’s not just Seattle though, there is a bi-partisan bill in the Washington state legislature, H.B. 1771, which limits drone use within the entire state. The bill has already passed its House Committee hearing and, as expected, the state’s corporate overlords have started to fight back. Specifically, Boeing."

March 1st - 2013 Regular Legislative Session 47
After a long nine hour day in the Appropriation Committee yesterday, we're starting up again this morning with 2 bills up for hearing. House Bill 1558 repeals the expiration date for the honey beekeeper tax exemptions and provides eligible honey beekeepers with a sales or use tax exemption for purchases of honeybee food.
Substitute House Bill 1693 allows certain new businesses, in computing business and occupation tax due, a deduction of $1 million from the measure of gross revenue for the first 36 months of operations; establishes a statewide cap of $2 million per fiscal year; includes an expiration date of December 31, 2018; requires taxpayers using the deduction to file the annual survey with the Department of Revenue; establishes goals and performance benchmarks for use by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission in reviewing the effectiveness of the tax preference.
We’ll also be considering 20 bills for Executive Action. It will be another long day.
