Some small edits here – feel free to ignore. I took out the west side assertion because it’s a statewide tool with only 6 counties not receiving the exemption and 4 of the 6 counties who don’t currently receive
the exemption are on the west side of the state.
Again, take or leave just my two cents. The time could change in terms of how long you have to speak so you might need to adjust but the Chair will note that at the beginning of the meeting.
Current state of play:
Testifiers:
- Carolyn Logue – CON - Associated Builders and Contractors Inland Pacific Chapter (non-union contractor)
- John Roskelley – CON – Spokane resident
- You - PRO
- Chris Green – PRO - Pacific NW Hydrogen Association
- Matthew Hepner – PRO- IBEW/CEEW
Not testifying but positions recorded
62 people signed in
- 4 CON
- 58 PRO
Unions did a bit sign on push yesterday and last night – short notice but not a terrible turnout.
Building trades also informed Governor yesterday that this has become one of their top priorities.
