@AGOWA will offer free advice to local govts
on complying with records requests under
Public Records Act. Wonder if it would be OK
for #waleg members to submit a request as well.

Real journalistic questions for today’s
journalistic world. I still blame the
Legislature, even though I don’t cover them
full time anymore #waleg

Clay Hill of @awbolympia argues that capital
gains taxes affect a lot more than just high-
income investors (think retirement savings). Also
emphasizes that capital gains usually receive
preferential rates, not special tax impositions.

(1/2) AWB President @KrisJohnson_IOM
testifying on B&O tax bill: Manufacturing sector
provides quality, good-paying jobs that build
strong communities throughout the state. Glad
that #waleg is revisiting B&O tax relief for the
sector today. #SupportWAmfg
See how WA manufacturing is losing ground to
other sectors: https://goo.gl/o9UUwm

As the Senate churns through a li st of 50
gubernatorial appointees, I’m reminded
how long it takes to do a roll call in that
chamber _ more than 3 minutes on the last
one alone! _ as opposed to voting in the
House, which takes mere seconds thanks to
button technology. #waleg
