Since the pandem- ic, they’ve converted their Twin Cities senior center to a meal- prep hub, and have gotten meals into the hands of often-isolated seniors even during the recent snowstorm. But the Meals on Wheels program, awarded on contract by the regional Area Agency on Aging, has been controlled by a much larger organization — Catholic Community Services — for several years. Now, LCS wants it back. Executive Director Glenda Forga says LCS used to operate the program, and much more, before things were “slowly frag- mented off” throughout the years.

These infrastructure investments—in things like mass transit, vehicle and ferry electrification, clean buildings, and more—are a bedrock to our state’s competitive edge. Washington State is also experiencing extreme and historic heat waves and drought conditions. We are at severe risk of a wildfire season even worse than last year, and many of the federal hydropower dams that are an essential component of our region’s infrastructure are likely to produce significantly less of the clean power that our economy relies. Climate policy is economic policy and the historic commitments Washington State has made will help protect the health and wealth of our state for generations.

  • 2020 End of Session Report Government Relations Services
    Skagit County 2020 End of Session Report Government Relations Services Dear Skagit County Commissioners: It was our privilege to advocate for Skagit County during the 2020 Legislative session. This was the second session that Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs has represented Skagit County, and we sincerely appreciate our partnership. Skagit County played a significant role in securing the passage of HB 1590, allowing the local option housing sales tax to be imposed councilmanically, which was one of your top priorities. While every 60-day session is a whirlwind, this one was particularly fast-paced. There were more bills introduced in this short session than in the long 105-day session of 2019. In this environment, passage of a bill like HB 1590 is a particularly significant accomplishment. Skagit County is fortunate to have a fantastic partnership with its legislators: Sen. Ron Muzzall, Sen. Keith Wagoner, Sen. Liz Lovelett, Rep. Norma Smith, Rep. Dave Paul, Rep. Carolyn Eslick, Rep. Robert Sutherland, Rep. Debra Lekanoff, and Rep. Alex Ramel. As the Legislature continues to trend away from transparency and desire to partner with local governments, the individuals in the 10th, 39th, and 40th legislative districts consistently show concern for the needs of Skagit County. Please let these legislators know that they are appreciated. Legislative success requires consistent, proactive engagement, and our state currently faces great uncertainty. As your governmental relations partners, we stand ready to provide the services that you need to respond to the challenge, and look forward to working with you through the interim months to prepare for the 2021 Legislative session.

    2020 U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement This U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement describes the two types of political engagement by the Company. The first is lobbying, which includes both direct communications with government officials by the Company as well as advocacy by other organizations (i.e., indirect lobbying) that receive financial support from the Company.

The Company’s policy is to participate in public policymaking by informing government officials about our positions on issues significant to the Company and our customers. The Company conducts this lobbying in the context of existing and proposed laws, legislation, regulations, and policy initiatives, and include, for example, commerce, intellectual property, trade, data privacy, transportation, and web services. Relatedly, the Company constructively and responsibly participates in the U.S. electoral process by making campaign contributions. The goal of the Company’s political engagement is to promote the interests of the Company and our customers, and the Company makes such decisions in accordance with the processes described in this U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement, without regard to the personal political preferences of the Company’s directors, officers, or employees.
