Greetings
from Rainy Olympia!!
The
E-Wire is down in Olympia coordinating with members on the Bullying Bill
expansion which has a hearing in House Education at 11AM today. Our
Morning Crew handled the 8AM discussion about bond elections quite well, so we
are looking forward to what this round of legislative testimony has to
share. Today’s team will be from the Lake Washington School District –
Region 2 Director Jane Dulski and her son, Matt, will be testifying on behalf
of the PTA. Links for the hearing will be available when TVW puts them
up. While you wait, and while I await for Jane and Matt to step up to the
plate, NBC Affliliate WFMJ has something
for you.
