We were able to get a lot done in yesterday’s General Government Appropriations and Oversight Committee meeting, so today’s meeting should be pretty short. We have six bills in the General Government Appropriations and Oversight Committee to take Executive Action on and then we’re done. I have a meeting at noon with Rep’s Overstreet and Shea to discuss a bill and an HROC Meeting at 2:30 PM. Should be a fairly straight forward day for me.
We’re still sitting in the Committee waiting for the Democrats to decide what they want to do on the six bills on the Executive Calendar. Senate Bill 6120 has two proposed amendments that would appear to have the Democrats split and with our no votes the amendments will fail. I love when a plan comes together.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 40
Another day and more committee meetings ... My day started with an 8:00 AM Labor and Workforce Development Committee meeting. There are a couple of really bad bills on the agenda today like SB 6486 which grants collective bargaining rights for postdoctoral and clinical employees at UW and WSU ... god heavens, seriously? We need less not more collective bargaining in Washington State. At least there’s one good bill on the agenda, SB 6392 which expands a farm internship program.
We have a Floor Session scheduled this morning for Remembrance Day and we’ll probably have a brief caucus session. The House Republican Caucus is releasing its proposed budget today with a press conference at noon to give the details. Here are the highlights ... our budget maintains 100% of levy equalization, maintains the 180-day school year, maintains the current all-day kindergarten funding, funds education reform and accountability, and amounts to $580 million more education funding then the Governor’s proposed budget.
I also have an Environment Committee meeting at 1:30 this afternoon. The bills on the agenda include SB 5575 related to biomass energy facilities, SB 4343 related to anaerobic digester emissions, SB 6027 related to industrial wastewater facilities, and SB 6120 children’s safe products. The big stinker bill is SB 6120 which places very high standards on what is used to make children’s products ... it’s also known as the toxic toys bill.
Molly and Tiffany will be here tonight and then we’re going to the Great Wolf Lodge tomorrow with Charles and his family. I also want to thank everyone who’s wished me a happy birthday today.
