I've seen Democratic proposals for special session. Good. Republicans have proposals to roll back gas tax, backfill road funds w general fund, fix the Democratic public safety catastrophe & reform emergency powers & every member will have to vote on bringing them to the floor.

Dori Monson showed us all how you can be forthright about your opinions and still highlight your common humanity. Sharing his feelings about his family and coaching was terrific for all of us. He showed how to be a personality and a human. Not a common skill.

Pierce, Cowlitz and Whitman County Representatives, Republicans and Democrats, should have a voice in the fate of their County. A year of emergency orders is enough. The Legislature is in session. They will have an opportunity to be counted.

I spent some time in the Columbia Basin last week. Heard of some employers and small towns who took health very seriously, rescheduled events, put up shields and masked. Stopped the spread of Covid in its tracks. They did this on their own. No orders, no shaming. Good judgement

During the darkest date of the summer and fall of 1940 the Brits expected invasion any moment, they still planned for counter-attacks later. While we fight Covid19 now it's critical that we plan for our economic recovery. It is time to plan for a safe return to construction now

WA House Democrats were infinitely warned by House Republicans like Rep Jenny Graham and Rep. Gina Mosbrucker that innocent people would be the victims of their misguided legislation. In tragic disregard of consequences, they passed them anyway.

Republicans and Democrats are both calling for this, now. I don't think either group buys into the straw-man arguments of lives vs dollars. They know that lives, dreams and institutions are at stake in both directions.
