WEDNESDAY: Q&A with your state legislators

As year’s end approaches, so does a new session of the State Legislature. If you have questions or comments for your state legislators, you will find them all in one place tomorrow (Wednesday) night at the 34th District Democrats‘ meeting. You don’t have to be a member to attend – they’re welcoming all community members, 7 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California SW). Don’t know your legislators, who represent the 34th District, including West Seattle, White Center, Vashon/Maury Islands, and part of Burien? They are State Sen. Joe Nguyen and Reps. Eileen Cody and Joe Fitzgibbon – all West Seattle residents. P.S. You can send questions in advance – find the link here.

Voters voted on a number of Advisory Measures. Measure 24 that raised B and O taxes by 20%, the voters overwhelmingly want this tax repealed, 63% to 37%. Are our local representatives going to work to repeal this taxes per voters advice?

@MJ:

The answer to your question is no. The Legislature has voted this increase in, and the Governor has signed it into law. These “advisory votes” are NONBINDING. They are only Eyman’s attempt to troll the gullible. Hopefully he’ll be in prison soon, and the Legislature can vote these stupid “advisory votes” out. If you don’t like that, then I guess you can always support a Republican candidate for a legislative position. Good luck with that in the 34th.

Sorry, comment time is over.
