  • Voters' Pamphlet
    Pierce County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election | August 16, 2011 "I am an American" Day observance, May, 1941, Jason Lee Middle School. Sponsored by the Tacoma Americanization Council. We're bringing back an old tradition. Published by the Pierce County Auditor's Offi ce piercecountywa.org/elections 253-798-VOTE (8683) or 1-800-446-4979 Message from the Auditor Dear Voter, If there is anything predictable about elections, it is change. Every year, something new is introduced. Budget reductions, new laws, fresh regulation…you name it. We take it in stride. Election year 2011 is no exception. Plenty has changed. • Vote-By-Mail is now the law of the land. Pierce County can no longer conduct polling place elections. • Our aging Express Booths have been retired. • We now have 23 Ballot Deposit Sites throughout the County. • Five new Voting Centers will be opened across the County. • “I Voted” stickers are back! Vote-By-Mail For 17% of Pierce County’s voters, this is a big change. Instead of driving to a polling place, a ballot will be mailed to your home. Simply apply a stamp and mail your ballot before August 16th. Or, drop it off at any one of our 25 Ballot Deposit Sites or six Voting Centers. Locations are on pages 8 - 10 of this booklet. Express Booths In 2010, we began the process of retiring our staffed Express Booths. In 2011, Express Booths have gone away entirely. It's expensive to staff these booths, move them, and store them. And, the booths were breaking down after nearly two decades of use.

All three shared the elation of political victory and the many days of separation which followed. Those in politics will understand. Through it all, my family kept their loyalty and sense of humor. FOREWORD BOB GOLDSWORTHY Bob Goldsworthy and I were both elected to the Legislature for the first time in 1956. We were among the first members of what would become, in a few years, a whole new generation of Republican legislators and officeholders. Bob was always a friend to everyone. With his long experience in farming and in the Air Force, he wielded substantial influence in agricultural and military affairs. He was most influential, however, when he became chairman of the House Appropriations Committee in 1967. By then, I was governor and I depended on Bob’s leadership to produce a good budget; one that would adequately finance education, better transportation facilities, and the preservation of the environment.

  • 8.7.14 Plaintiff-Respondents' Response to Motions for Leave To
    NO. 84362-7 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON MATHEW & STEPHANIE MCCLEARY, on their own behalf and on behalf of KELSEY & CARTER MCCLEARY, their two children in Washington’s public schools, et al., Plaintiff/Respondents, PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENTS’ v. RESPONSE TO MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO FILE STATE OF WASHINGTON, AMICI CURIAE BRIEFS Defendant/Appellant. On August 4, 2014, four groups of applicants filed motions for leave to file amici curiae briefs regarding the upcoming September 3 show cause hearing: (1) Washington State Budget and Policy Center, Centerstone, the ElderCare Alliance, the Equity in Education Coalition, Statewide Poverty Action Network, Solid Ground, Jennifer Papest, Kristin Lindenmuth, Patrick Lenning, and Viral Shaw; (2) Columbia Legal Services, The Children’s Alliance, and The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance; (3) Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn; and (4) Former Governors Daniel J. Evans, John Spellman, Mike Lowry, Gary Locke, and Christine Gregoire. Plaintiffs file this single, consolidated response to those four motions. As a procedural matter, plaintiffs object that these amicus brief motions do not satisfy the requirements of RAP 10.6.1 1 RAP 10.6(a) permits an amicus brief “only if all parties consent or if the filing of the brief would assist the appellate court.” To that end, the rule requires the applicant’s motion to establish: (1) the applicant’s interest and the person or group the applicant represents; (2) the applicant’s familiarity with the issues involved in the review and with - 1 - 51388129.3 But as a practical matter, since this Court recently granted Mr. Eugster’s amicus brief motion over plaintiffs’ similar objection, plaintiffs recognize this Court will likely grant these four amicus brief motions for the September 3 show cause hearing as well.

  • Letter to Agreement State Governors Re: NRC Has Approved Increased
    September 2, 2005 The Honorable Janet Napolitano Governor of the State of Arizona 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Dear Governor Napolitano: In cooperation with the State of Arizona, and the 32 other Agreement States, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved increased controls for radioactive material licensees possessing radioactive sources containing quantities of concern. When implemented by licensees, these controls, which supplement existing regulatory requirements, will provide both the NRC and the Agreement States reasonable assurance that our common objectives of enhancing controls over certain radioactive sources and protecting public health and safety continue to be met. This approach comports with existing Agreements under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act for protection of public health and safety. The additional requirements will ensure increased control of radioactive sources containing quantities of concern, and they are consistent with ongoing national and international efforts to address the potentially significant health and safety hazards that could be posed by a loss of control of such radioactive sources. This approach to issuing the increased controls will maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of NRC and Agreement State inspection resources and reduce travel and other administrative costs, since safety and control requirements will be inspected in an integrated manner primarily during routine health and safety inspections or commensurate with an inspection prioritization scheme. Implementation of these requirements is a matter of great importance to the NRC and to the Nation. In September 2005, the NRC requested, through the radiation control program director in each Agreement State, that all Agreement States impose the increased controls on their licensees by December 2005.

WASHINGTON LAW REVIEW Volume 45, Number 4, 1970 JUDICIAL SANCTIONS AND LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING IN WASHINGTON STATE W. Basil McDermott* INTRODUCTION History has been unkind to state legislatures. As one looks at the development of those bodies in our society today, only the dull are even mildly optimistic about the ability of such assemblies to under- stand, let alone manage, the immensely disruptive changes that have been taking place in this century. Change is history's joker slipped openly into a deck of stacked problems that frustrate the most able politicians and bewilder the vast majority. Like generals who are best prepared to fight yesterday's war, state legislatures look boldly toward the past hoping against hope that the times will stop a-changing. Wise men will make no bets. In a sense the story is an old one-the problems facing men out- grew the capacity of the political structures designed to handle such problems.
