Governor Gregoire opened the new legislative session with her State of the State Address, which can be viewed on video here, and read here.
Fuse Washington (www.fusewashington.org) has placed a great staffer on the ground in Olympia to work on a number of aggressive Progressive projects. As part of the coalition mentioned in the previous post, thousands of petitions urging tax increases were delivered to Governor Gregoire, Senator Brown and Speaker Chopp (Senator Brown has scheduled a follow up meeting with the presenters this week to discuss more deeply). Also this week, Fuse faced off with Tim Eyman as he was proposing his latest initiatve. The video of the encounter is worth the watch.
As we gear up for the elections, it's a little comforting to know there are some extra forces at work legislatively this session.
