@JakeVigdor @UW Great job reviewing "how a bill becomes a law" and guide for being effective in developing and passing a bill in WA! Our bill was 1st in US - and still only state ending Pass the Harasser. So, open to closing any loopholes found.

It's important for me to hear the realities in order to fight to fully fund basic ed. SPS is underfunded an incredible $100 million from the State for special education, requiring the use of levy funds. That's a reason why SEA must care so much about sp ed, social worker ratios

[Gerry Pollet @RepGerryPollet]

At Eckstein Middle School today with our striking educators. 34 and 35 students in science and English classes is NOT ok. A single school social worker in a time of dire need - who is half paid for by parents' fundraising and not the State and School District. That's not ok.

KING5 cont'd:
“Sadly, this agreement is a dereliction of Washington state’s duty to protect our Columbia River and groundwater from high-level nuclear waste. If the state can't enforce our environmental waste laws, its up to the public and the tribes to enforce...” Pollet said."

[Gerry Pollet @RepGerryPollet]

KING5: The current retrieval date is scheduled for two decades from now, although state and federal law says if a tank is leaking nuclear waste, it must be pumped immediately...whenever is feasible. Pollet is the legislature’s top authority on Hanford. He said he is “heartbroken”

@chrisreykdal You had the very difficult job. Thank you for making sure the Earth was still here for when they landed. Plus, you had to worry.

[Gerry Pollet @RepGerryPollet]

I'm looking forward to continuing to serve you - from continuing to improve education, leading on fighting climate change and protecting our environment, ensuring we respond to COVID based on public health science, increasing our supply of affordable housing... and much more.
