We're getting briefed on the Natural Resource Agencies budgets today ... revenue from the Discover Pass is running $27.9 million less than projected. I really can't say I'm surprised. Nearly everyone who has ever contacted me about the Discover Pass was opposed to it.

2011 2nd Special Legislative Session
Yet another fun-tastic day in Olympia. We still haven't taken a single vote yet, but tomorrow is another day. I'm sitting in the General Government Appropriations Committee right now hearing about how bad the implementation of the Discovery Pass really has been. Gee, is it to soon to say "we told you so"? The projected revenue was $64 million and now there's a projected revenue shortfall of $24 million. Huh, did someone forget to ask the public if they liked the idea in the first place ... guess not.
The 2011 National Final Rodeo kicks off tonight and some of us are getting together to watch it. Yeehaw!
Tomorrow is another day of committee meetings and it looks like I'll hit Mossyrock on Saturday for a little ranch sorting at Tim Kunka's place. Looking forward to it.

Wow, an interesting few days. Let's see, Brock played in his final Summer Baseball League tournament over the weekend. The kids played well at times, but didn't win any of their games. Brock seemed to enjoy the season, met some great kids and played for a couple of really good coaches.
Molly finally got her chickens on Saturday ... by Sunday 4 had escaped and were running around the yard. Fun times had by all, but we did get 4 farm fresh eggs yesterday. We also got a few pigs on Saturday and a new dog. Looks like I'll be hunting again real soon, with a new Black Lab.
I've been receiving a lot of email from constituents regarding the new Discover Pass. The idea was junk during session, which is why I voted against it, and is junk now that it's being enforced. I would encourage everyone to read through the exemptions before buying one ... you might not need to. Interestingly, the law has been in place 11 days and now we're hearing "we might need to make some changes to it". Seriously?!?!?!? Yet another example of passing a law in order to do "something" and fixing it later. Ladies and Gentlemen, you can't fix stupid.
