Boeing donation and vote

The documents show that Boeing gave the maximum donation of $900 to seven lawmakers, for a total of $6,300. The donations were made on Nov. 5, the day before Gov. Jay Inslee called a special session to approve tax incentives valued at some $9 billion.
In the donations ahead of the special session, Boeing supported Republican Sens. John Braun, Sharon Brown and John Smith; Republican Reps. Norm Johnson, Charles Ross and Shelly Short; and Democratic Rep. Dave Upthegrove.
Six of the seven voted for the tax package, while Ross was excused from voting.
"You shall avoid even the appearance of evil."

more regulations

This is normally a legislative post, but the pro abortion folks want a list of all hospitals that do not perform abortions and to mandate that they state such on their website. What you can't do in the legislature, do by fiat.

gas tax

As is our gas didn't cost enough already, the legislature wants to raise the gas tax. Translated punish people that don't ride mass transit.
At least one rep. (J.T. Wilcox) is asking his constituents to voice their opinion. I would suggest that everyone do that.

special sessions

This is my personal opinion. I am an old granny that has been active in politics since the 1950's. I see no need for special sessions. Not the last one. Not one to raise the gas tax, which I am opposed to. Not one to make this a right to work state, which I am in favor of.

I am in favor of elected officials doing what is right for the state; not big corporations, unions, racial group, environmental extremists/socialists, pro-abortion, gay rights, etc.

So when you are making your calls against the gas tax increase, include the governor about special sessions.

Correction of last post

Sorry 10 cents a gallon is not enough. Senate R's suggest 11.5 cents. You need to get on those phones.

Rumors of another special session to raise the gas tax

Yep. The actual Boeing plant rests on better roads. The union is up in arms about the deal they got. Please everyone contact your legislators and say Not only No but (substitute your appropriate word) No.
The raises would be 10 cents a gallon.

boeing bills

Both passed today.

Boeing bills

All the bills are on 2nd reading and will probably be passed in the near future. Ask for wisdom to find anything hidden in the bills that needs to come to light.

Jan Angel

It appears that Jan Angel won. I am not sure when she will take her seat. Probably next session. At that time someone will have to be appointed to her house seat. They will have to hire new staff, as Jan Angel will take hers with her to the Senate. Need Christians!

Boeing Bills

The Senate didn't announce their hearing yesterday, but it went on today. The house committee passed out a substitute bill. I am not sure of the difference. Will watch for others to comment. There are tax changes for other industries besides aerospace in the bill. Need to pray for wisdom and more wisdom.

Senate Democrats

Senator Ed Murray was the leader of the Senate Democrats, but resigned as now mayor of Seattle. Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle is the temp leader. They will be electing a new leader after this special session, and Senator Murray will probably resign, meaning there will be another appointed in his place.

2088 and 2089

These are the House versions of the Boeing Bills They will be heard by November 8, tomorrow at 3:30 PM
The companion Senate bills 5952 & 5953 have not yet been assigned.
The bills give only very large airplane manufacturers special breaks and appropriate funds for college training in studies related to working at Boeing.
The taxes issue is not letting them expire. Not sure how bad the actual bills are, but 7 days. Really.

special session

Purpose of special session? Pay off Boeing and the union. Their taxes go down. Your? Up of course. But it's about jobs. Pray for wisdom of the Godly kind, not the godly. And since this is transportation, don't count that pesky light rail bridge to Portland out.

The NO people keep insisting that GMO products are safe. No they are not. That is why many countries ban them all together.

More legislation to watch/pray for. Better monitoring of electronic home monitoring. It seems the monitors need monitoring. Don't try to read this out loud too fast :)

WADOT is making a listening tour of the state to plug a gas tax raise.

You can call the legislative hotline in support even now.

Guess two special sessions was not enough. There is a plan for another in November for transportation. Supposedly the bridge is not included. They want to waste money elsewhere. Pray that they can do there jobs when they are supposed to. Pray they are good stewards of our money. Pray they actually realize it is our money not theirs.

New GOP state chair Susan Hutchison. We will see what happens. The youth or Ron Paul faction wants constitutional government. Susan is somewhat conservative. She will need prayer.

I-522
I have now read the initiative! It is only 10 pages long. The first half is really irrelevant and a rant against GMO's. However, that said, it does require labeling of most food containing GMO's. Animals can be fed GMO food and have GMO shots. Minute amounts of substances used in processing food can remain. Food service is exempt. I have heard that school lunches are specifically exempt. I can't find this except that that would be food service. Nothing would stop schools from enforcing this on a district basis. I suspect that food received from the government to subsidize the lunch programs would not be labeled.
Sooooo. I am going to say vote yes.

Budget

Check out Washington Policy center for a review of  the budget and the portions vetoed by the governor.

Looks like an operating budget but not a budget for the faulty bridge. They are going to do an audit to see where they misplaced $20 million. Keep praying.

Also, if the legislature adjourns until next year, you won't be reading anything here until next year. I hope to learn more about blogging and make this a better source of information. This was a learning experience for all of us.

Apparently the operating budget is now agreed on.

Back again. Sorry I was a day off. They did pass with 51 votes today. Now the Senate has to deal with the problems. But the keep praying part still stands.

Washington State Wire has just posted a vote in the house. 49 for the higher taxes 41 opposed and 7 not voting for some reason. That is a very close vote. Need more prayer for this.

Apparently they are close on the budget. Keep praying as it needs to be done before Monday.

I-591 will be the initiative protecting gun rights. Apparently there will be one from the other side as well.
Not sure of the budget process. Need to be done by the end of the month or the state has no authority to pay its bills. Keep praying.
Also the I-5 bridge fiasco needs prayer.

Glen Morgan with the Freedom Foundation wrote a piece today about the I-5 bridge from Vancouver to Portland. The planned bridge span is too narrow and too low for shipping to pass through.
http://myfreedomfoundation.com go to the blog.
The transportation has passed, but the governor vetoed the restrictions on that bridge.
Needs prayer.
A budget that does not raise taxes and goes to godly purposes.
There appears to be a lot of corruption involved with the bridge at all levels of government and in both states. More exposure and protection for whistle blowers.

I suggest www.statebudgetsolutions.org
This  will do a better job of keeping you informed about the budget than I can.
Sample for WA today

WASHINGTON: Another 30 day special session started June 12.Governor is planning for "major, major disruption" if no budget is passed. The News Tribune. June 12.

Special session ended without a budget agreement on June 11. Senate passed a revised $33.278 billion budget which was close to the one it approved in late April. House has passed a revised $33.541 billion budget. Crosscut. June 9, 2013.

Interesting observation out of Washington Policy Center. The Senate is pushing for education reform. The teachers union is opposed to education reform. Apparently the House D's may have to accept a no new tax budget to avoid education reform. Not a good choice for the kiddo's, but at least we can homeschool around the lack of education reform. The alternative is mortgaging their future. Keep praying. There may be other options out there. This is the last day of this session. The next one starts tomorrow I believe.

Representative O'Ban is now Senator O'Ban. Suspense over.

Apparently Rob McKenna is going to make a speech tomorrow. Not sure why. Pray that it is for a good cause, like the Lord's.

When the Pierce Council/Commission can vote is being debated. Jim McCune is in Alaska supposed to be returning tonight. He is a good guy on the council/commission. Never a dull moment. Fortunately God knows. Keep praying.
If Dick Muri is chosen the confusion ends, he does not currently hold office. If O'Ban, then he needs to be replaced in the house by the same process. Not same with other person on his city position.

Correction!!
Apparently the legal waiting periods make June 11th, last day of session the first day that Pierce County can replace Senator Carrell. That really complicates things. We would need another D Senator to flip on the budget to stop the D's House budget. There are a couple of possibilities, especially as that budget takes the elderly, orphans, and other odd things. See Freedom Foundation again and Glen Morgan.

Dick Muri, Steve O'Ban (Senator Carrell's choice), and University Place Councilman Javier Figueroa going to the Commission. Guessing they will choose Muri or O'Ban. Both good. Don't know Figueroa. That vote may come Monday to fill that seat in the Senate.

The Olympia Report from the Freedom Foundation is keeping up on the procedure to replace Senator Carrell. The vote may not be until Monday as there is an open meeting requirement for the Commission.
Names floating about:
University Place Rep. Steve O’Ban, Tacoma City Councilman Dick Muri, University Place City Councilman Javier Figueroa and Mayor Pro Tem Denise McCluskey and Caleb Heimlich, executive director of the Washington State Republican Party.

I know Dick Muri personally and he is a good man. I don't know the others. Keep praying that God's man is chosen, first by the PCO's and then the Commission.

From the Republicans:
Pierce County Republicans have already begun to organize the process of selecting a replacement, as reported by Jeff Rhodes of The Olympia Report:

By state law, the Pierce County Republican Party is required to present a slate of replacement candidates to the [Pierce County Council], which would then make a final appointment.
Twenty-eighth District Republican Chair Bob Brown said on Wednesday afternoon he is scheduled to meet with GOP precinct committee officers at 6 p.m. on Thursday, followed by a meeting with the party’s central committee at 7:30.
“We will have a list of replacement candidates by the end of the evening,” he said.
Brown was unsure how long it would take the Pierce County [councilmembers] to make the final selection, but said he’d already spoken with one commissioner and encouraged him to act “in a very expedited manner.”

 Expedited is such a subjective word, and county politics are typically briar patches of pesky (some might say petty) personal squabbling that all too often thwart quick decision-making.


From the Democrats:
 Now that Senate voting could be deadlocked 24-24 along caucus lines, Senate rules allowing Democratic Lt. Gov. Brad Owen to cast a tie-breaking vote are not just a speculation. In a recent interview, Owen stated that at the time he believed Democrats had no should not feel obligated to cast proxy votes for Carrell, then-living.

Statements made by State Sen. Ed Murray (D-Seattle) — who is also running in Seattle’s mayoral race — at the end of the regular session were similarly vague and left open the possibility of a power grab in comments made on the State Democrats website:

“Democrats and Republicans should jointly recognize the fluid nature of the Senate at present and govern accordingly,” Murray said.

Anyone has warm fuzzy feelings about either side? PRAY!!!!!

Oh, and by law they haves to have the new budget in place by June 1.

For those of you curious about what happens next regarding Senator Carrell's seat.

– The Pierce County Republican precinct committee officers will send the Pierce County Council a list of three people to replace  Carrell as the 28th Legislative District’s senator.
– The Pierce County Council has 60 days from the date of vacancy (May 29) to fill the vacancy from the list of names provided by the PCOs.
– If the council can’t choose an appointee from the list during this time, Gov. Jay Inslee will decide on an appointee from the list provided by the Pierce County Republican PCOs.
– Whoever is appointed to the Senate seat can be sworn in to office immediately.
– Whoever is appointed to fill Carrell’s seat will serve until November 2014. (Under state law, because his death occurred on or after the Monday of this year’s Candidate Filing Week, it is too late to have a special election for the 28th District Senate seat in November 2013.)
– A special election for the 28th District Senate seat will be held in November 2014. The winner of that election will serve the final two years of the four-year term. The 28th District Senate seat will be up for election again in November 2016.

As you can see, this process may not happen before the end of  the special session. We hope the special session ends soon, at least soon if the budget is a good one. This certainly complicates things. This puts 24 D's against the coalition. The Democratic Lt. Governor votes to break a tie.

You know that feeling when you have a toddler and it gets really, really quiet. Oh, oh what are they up to. That is the feeling about the legislature right now. Listen really carefully in the spirit. Nothing is breaking. They are worried about getting to the end of the fiscal year without a budget. See how closely we are to the other Washington. The only difference is that there it is the Senate that won't pass a serious budget, or any budget. I think our House has one, the Governor has one, and the Senate has a real one.

Keep praying. Everything is fluid. We will only be safe when everyone goes home.
Keep Senator Carrell's vote active.
Health of Senator Carrell, Reps. DeBolt and Freeman.
Rational budget. Transportation obviously needs to be for roads not light rail to nowhere.
Operating budget for essential services only.
Education for education not social engineering.
Capital for current buildings. Cut staff to match :)

Oklahoma needs out prayers more than we do. But after that, do pray for our stricken legislators and wisdom for them all.

Keep praying.
I recommend that you check out the Freedom Foundation. Apparently there is more to the IRS activities. Some folks are claiming the tax refund checks have been heal up. They are better at looking at the money issues than I am.

All I see about the legislature is that they are studying things for next session or to try to get through this time. None of these things relate to the budget, except possibly to spend more money. They don't seem to get it.

Publicly the governor says he will stick to the budget except for stronger penalties for DUI's. The  bill will cost money. It is currently in Ways and Means in the Senate.

I am not calling the liberals satanic, but in their ignorance they are doing his will. Consequently I don't trust the rhetoric. Anything can be buried in budgets. You call them some innocent sounding thing and later find out what the judge says it really means. The situation in the Senate is critical with Senator Carrell recovering from a bone marrow transplant and not able to attend sessions.

Please keep all in prayer.

They are back to work tomorrow.
I thought they were to have new leadership in the House, but can't find it. Will keep you posted on that.
Main things:
1. Only legislation related to the budget to be considered.
2. Only godly activities funded.
3. Good stewardship.
4. Corruption exposed and prosecuted.
5. Protect Christian legislators and their staff. Particularly, but not limited to Senator Carrell, Reps. DeBolt, and Freeman. Staff Cathy Colley.

Also, there are special elections coming up to fill seats with appointed members sitting. If a Rep is planning on running for an open Senate seat, they can not by law fund raise during session, session 2, session 3, etc. The 35th is involved in this and there may be others.
Also, there are upcoming local elections that are off radar during session. If you don't have a way of checking on the beliefs of local candidates, start one :)

In the proclamation calling for a special session, the governor has opened it back up to policy bills as well as budget bills. Therefore 1044 and all the other bills we hoped were dead  Hopefully the Senate leadership will stick to the budget.

Answer for special session. May13. Hopefully time for Rep. Freeman to get treatment.

Might have a transportation budget. Not  necessarily a good one, but a budget. Just tomorrow and Sunday of this session.

From now through Sunday there will be posturing, but everyone is resigned to a special session. Pray that behind the scenes some real progress is being made.

URGENT
Governor Inslee is prepared to call a special session for social legislation. The DUI bill was mentioned, but 1044 is one of his pets. NOOOOOO

The new House leadership may not be finalized until after session. That means Joel Kretz is acting head. Pray for wisdom on the budget. Pray for focus on the job ahead and not the political maneuvering between the wings of the Republican Party.
We need for the truth to be discerned regarding the true purpose, true cost, etc. of items in the budgets.  I have seen things regarding the transportation budget, but not the capital or operating budgets. We need to watch that things are not  added as amendments that have nothing to do with the rest of the bill just to get pet items pasted, pet people paid off, etc.
This is an intense time.

Last week of session. This does include next weekend.
Pray that they get everything done and there is no extra session.
Pray for honest, prudent budget - funding godly things and defunding ungodly.
Pray for the legislator, staff, families, health, businesses, etc.
Pray for the new leadership in the House.

Still working on the budget.
Pray for God's will in the new House leadership process.
Pray for healing for Sen. Carrell, and Rep. Debolt and Freeman.
Keep 1044 in prayer also as could be added as amendment by either house.

The budget is the principle thing right now. The D's want to raise taxes. Some ideas is to make the Business and Occupation tax even more anti-business. For those who don't know, this is an income tax on gross receipts, that is before expenses.
Need to get rid of expenses and not the most painful to the taxpayers, but the most wasteful or to political friends.

1733 transparency of transportation projects SUPPORT  PASSED

ALERT
The D's tried to add1044 as an amendment and that failed. They could do this with other bills. Keep praying.
Richard DeBolt has just stepped down as House leader for the R's Joel Kretz is acting leader. He would be a good choice for permanent. Keep praying.

Nothing new on the bills.
1044 did not get pulled to the floor and apparently won't be. However, keep praying. It is mortally wounded, but some things assumed dead revive.

Senator Carrell is ill and needed a bone marrow transplant. I have heard he is near death. Pray for his health as well as Representative Freeman who has cancer also. He is able to be at the legislature, Senator Carrell is not as his immune system is seriously compromisesd.

Also, House minority leader Richard DeBolt is in the hospital with undetermined problems. We need him well for the budget battles.

Tomorrow is the last day to read reports on fiscal bills in second house.
There was a hearing today for 1723 that didn't appear when I checked before.
Things will get harder to track from here on out. A lot of the action is behind the scenes.
They will start hearing bills again as the hearing period for the budget will have passed.

The content of the budget bills will constantly change. Keep praying.

They are working on the budget. Actually budgets. There are more than one. I don't know enough to suggest particulars. However, don't fund immoral purposes; don't line politician's pockets; don't waste money; don't penalize the taxpayers for not funding everything you want to fund; don't raise taxes; anything else you can think of.

1044 possible "Ninth Order" – a maneuver to bring any bill to a vote even if it has not had a public hearing

In general there is a lot of deal making going on at this point in the session. Pray for the Christians and against corruption as well as immoral bills.

Got a call from Planned Parenthood. Yes, that Planned Parenthood. They may try to go around the committee process with 1044 abortion insurance. Call your senator!! Pray!!!!

1882 This bill has just been introduced. It appears to be a budget bill, but not sure of  the timing. This would prevent therapy to restore normal sexual identification as California has done. At this point just a study group, but we know where this  is going.
