I received word my aunt was not doing well, so I drove to Ellensburg to see her last night. Those of you who know my Aunt Paula, knows how wonderful she is and how important she is in my life. It’s tough seeing her right now, but I thank God I was able to see her and say goodbye. Please pray for her.
I drove back to Olympia last night in a massive snow storm. It was not a fun drive, but at least the irrigation outlook keeps getting better with each storm.
We’re back on the House Floor this morning to run a few bills on the"Concurrence/Dispute” Calendar and several bills on the"Green” Sheet. It sounds like it will be another early day, which means a Special Session is more and more likely. This has been a very difficult session for me personally. Please know that your thoughts and prayers have kept me strong and given me the courage to stand strong.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 57
Yesterday, I went to church with Richard DeBolt and his family and ended up spending the entire day with them. I had a great day and really needed it. We’re working through the"concurrence/dispute” calendar again today and the rumor is we’ll have a couple of easy days here on the House Floor. Translation ... Special Session.

Speaker Chopp and Governor Gregoire's comments on the Senate GOP takeover
If reactions by House Speaker Frank Chopp and Gov. Chris Gregoire to Friday's events are any guide, the Legislature will be in town far beyond the scheduled March 8 adjournment day.
"The Senate Republicans have exercised the worst abuse of power I have ever witnessed in the Legislature," Chopp, D-Seattle, said in a statement. "It says something about them that the minute they gained power, they abused it."
Gregoire, standing outside the speaker's office, was furious as well.
"I am chagrined that they're over there right now working on something I've never seen, the members have never seen — members on both parties have never seen, and they're going to take a vote tonight?" she said.
"This is not how we do business in Washington state."
Actually this is exactly what the Republican Minority has been dealing with for 12 years.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 55
Ok folks, someone please send me the results from the GOP Caucus’s back in the Yakima area, please. We’re back on the House Floor this afternoon to run 5 bills on the"Green Sheet” and a whole bunch of bills on the"Concurrence/Dispute” Calendar.
If you haven’t already heard, the Senate Republicans took over the Senate last night and kicked some serious butt. The passed out a true bi-partisan budget that did not cut Levy Equalization, did not rely on the 25th Month payments and did not include tax increases. If you have a Republican Senator or if your Senator is Senator Tom, Kastama or Sheldon, please contact them and thank them for doing what’s right for Washington State.
It’s going to me a long day with a lot of sitting around waiting for the Democrat Majority to decide what they want to do. They’re a little edgy after the meltdown in the Senate last night. Hehehe ... I love it.
One last thought, I met a truly great man yesterday ... Thank you Pastor Scott for your words of encouragement.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 54
Five o’clock today is the cutoff for bills from the other House, meaning it’s the cutoff for all Senate Bills in the House of Representatives ... unless the bill is deemed NTIB (necessary to implement the budget). We should have a somewhat early night today and then I expect a very long day tomorrow. We started the"concur/ do not concur” process today too. This is the process by which the two Houses of the Legislature agree or disagree with the amendments that were made to a bill. It’s a process that takes quite a while to complete and is extremely slow.
We’ve run seven bills so far today and just broke for lunch until 12:30. It’s going to be a long, slow day that ends early ... only in Olympia. Only 7 days left.
