2011 Legislative Session

Day 4 - Another day, another set of meetings. So far, the session has been very low key. The Committees I sit on have been focused on work sessions and not legislation ... not necessarily a bad thing. Issues should heat up next week, but we'll see.

2011 Legislative Session

Day 3 - It was a busy, but remarkably productive day. I finalized a couple of more bills for introduction and met with a lot of different people. Three more Committee meetings, the first at 8:00 AM and the last ending at 8:00 PM, and the State of the Judiciary made for a long day. We'll start getting into the meat of issues next week.

2011 Legislative Session

Day 2 - Another busy day. The Governor gave her State of the State address today. She hit on a lot of Republican talking points and sounded like she will be willing to consider our ideas this year. The proof will come later this session, so we'll see. Tomorrow ... more meetings! I've got several bills introduced and am waiting for hearing dates.

Post from davidtaylor at CHUM.LY

Greetings friends. It's been a while since I last posted ... my apologies, but times are busy. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year celebration. As you probably know, I'll be headed out Saturday or Sunday for the 2011 Legislative Session. Yesterday (Monday) we received our committee assignments and I will be serving on the Environmental (formerly Ecology and Parks) Committee, the Labor and Workforce Development (formerly portions of the Commerce and Labor) Committee and General Government Appropriations and Oversight Committee. I will also be serving as the Ranking Republican on the State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee, which I am very excited about.

Once the 2011 Session begins, I'll do my best to post a daily summaries of whats happening in Olympia. It looks like it will be a long and difficult session, but I believe we have an opportunity to change the way government operates and return to the Priorities of Government.

NO MORE EXCUSES: RECLAIM EDUCATION FOR OUR KIDS

For decades politicians have poured more and more money into public education. Each administration has had a new prescription for better schools. The result? Lower test scores. In the meantime, children--your children--are being robbed of their education.
One future at a time.

The good news is, solutions exist. The bad news is, our bureaucratic education system resists them. To turn the status quo on its head the people with the most invested--their children--must speak up.
On November 16th the Evergreen Freedom Foundation invites you to an evening of facts, solutions, and true stories of educational options that work.
