Comments on ...And a Bill to Watch

Well, that's great and all, but where are the pit bull stories?

Josh,
Thanks for all your good reporting from Olympia. Keep it up!

You're doing a great job, Josh.

2797 is extremely technical in its language, which, sadly, means little outside of business will pay attention to it. Though if deb "business is my middle name" eddy is for it it could have a chance.

Hi, Andrew. As a matter of fact, I'm the 2nd sponsor listed on this bill.

Yep, the GMA is horribly technical. Erica, at another post, noted that it's not worked to focus development as much as we might have expected. That's because IMHO linkages between land use (permitting) and transportation (roads, transit) are TOO LOOSE.

I worked hard, very hard, to get 2797 in shape to sail through (well, at least, it would've had a lot easier time; there's still the matter of the $1mm fiscal note). I WANTED it to pass, Andrew. Unfortunately, my edits were not accepted, and finally we voted it out of committee. So I don't know what's going to happen now.
