2/14/12 – Legislative Update
Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to get involved.
While the Legislature is in session and we are all in Olympia, it’s important that I stay connected with you and the issues in the 48th District. While I welcome your input on all issues, I would really appreciate your thoughts on:
- Transportation solutions that work for business and commuters;
- Education funding and potential reforms;
- Proposals that make doing business in Washington easier.
I share the Governor’s priority for education; it is critically important that our kids have the skills and knowledge to compete on the global stage. Also, I expect to spend countless hours on our transportation system and funding issues.
The session is fast-paced and schedules are tight. That’s why I am particularly grateful for any input you can direct my way through suggestions, questions or comments. And I hope to see you back in the 48th, after sine die.
Sincerely,
Rep. Deb Eddy
