2011 Legislative Session

Day 75 Update - Thanks to the Democrat majority first time voters still don't have to show proof of citizenship to vote in Washington State ... My amendment to require proof of citizenship failed. Also thanks to the Democrat majority, the citizens of Pierce County will now be required to vote by mail. Congratulations, the Democrat majority in the Legislature knows better than the locally elected County Council. So much for local control, so much for the best government being the government closest to the people.
