  • Elway Poll: Two-Thirds of Washingtonians Support Raising Tobacco Sale Age to 21
    atg.wa.gov http://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/elway-poll-two-thirds-washingtonians-support-raising-tobacco-sale-age-21 Elway Poll: Two-thirds of Washingtonians support raising tobacco sale age to 21 Attorney General Bob Ferguson speaks at a press conference announcing an Elway Poll showing overwhelming support among Washingtonians for raising the purchase age for tobacco. Poll finds widespread bipartisan support for AG legislative proposal to combat youth smoking OLYMPIA — A Stuart Elway poll released today shows an overwhelming 65 percent of Washingtonians support raising the sale age of tobacco to 21. This result shows clear public support for Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s proposal to raise the legal age to purchase tobacco and vapor products to 21. The poll, commissioned by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and issued by Elway Research, an independent research firm, surveyed 500 registered voters in Washington state from Dec. 28-30, 2015. The results show strong support among both men and women and in every region of the state. Support in Eastern Washington (66 percent) was similar to support in Western Washington (70 percent). Additionally, the poll found strong support across political ideology, with 66 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of Democrats supporting increasing the tobacco sale age. “Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States,” said Ferguson. “Elway’s poll proves Washingtonians agree: It is time to make this common-sense change to state law and save kids’ lives.” Washington has long been at the forefront of the fight to protect youth from the dangers of smoking .

  • May 6, 2015 2 May 6, 2015 the Honorable Mark Schoesler, Senate
    May 6, 2015 2 May 6, 2015 The Honorable Mark Schoesler, Senate Majority Leader The Honorable Frank Chopp, Speaker of the House The Honorable Sharon Nelson, Senate Democratic Leader The Honorable Pat Sullivan, House Majority Leader The Honorable Andy Hill, Ways & Means Chair The Honorable Dan Kristiansen, House Minority Leader The Honorable Jim Hargrove, Ways & Means Ranking Member The Honorable Ross Hunter, Appropriations Chair The Honorable John Braun, Ways & Means Vice Chair The Honorable Bruce Chandler, Appropriations Ranking Member The Honorable Ann Rivers, Majority Whip The Honorable Reuven Carlyle, Finance Chair The Honorable Mark Mullet, Democratic Assistant Whip The Honorable Eileen Cody, Health Care & Wellness Chair Dear Legislators; On behalf of Washington’s 281 cities, we are writing to urge your quick action on HB 2136. This proposal includes numerous important provisions that will provide greater clarity to cities and assist the State’s emerging legal marijuana market. In particular, cities ask for your assistance with the following provisions in the bill: • Local Flexibility: Cities support the provisions in Section 301 for local flexibility to adjust the 1,000 foot buffer between retailers and certain sensitive uses. This flexibility will help cities better site business, while still meeting the public safety needs for their communities. • Opposition to pre-emption: Cities strongly oppose the inclusion of a public vote requirement prior to enacting a prohibition on marijuana businesses. This is a clear pre-emption of existing local regulatory authority. It is also inconsistent with the language of I-502 and at odds with recent court decisions and the state’s Attorney General Opinion.

  • 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Barnes April 14, 2010 206-999-9908 | [email protected] 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released Olympia – WashingtonVotes.org has released its annual Missed Votes Report, detailing missed roll call votes on bills for every legislator during the 2010 Legislative Session, including the special Session. WashingtonVotes.org, the premier legislative information website in Washington, provides concise, plain-English, objective descriptions of every bill, amendment and vote of the Washington legislature. WashingtonVotes.org Director Brandon Houskeeper said “the Missed Votes Report enables Washingtonians to track the actions of their elected officials in Olympia without having to read and record information from thousands of pages of legislative documents.” Houskeeper added, “our Missed Votes Report puts that same information in front Washingtonians with just one or two clicks.” There are a variety of reasons legislators miss votes. Houskeeper observed. “Legislators are often meeting with constituents, other lawmakers or dealing with unexpected emergencies, and that is the value of the Missed Votes Report.” Houskeeper noted, “Washingtonians can use WashingtonVotes.org as an informational resource and tool to see if legislators have a consistent pattern of missing votes.” To see the total number of votes each Senator and Representative missed during the 2010 Session, go to http://www.washingtonvotes.org/MissedVotes.aspx and adjust the date range accordingly. You can see reports from previous sessions by changing the date criteria at the top of the page. Click on a legislator’s name for detailed information about the votes he or she missed. WashingtonVotes.org contacted the legislators from each chamber who missed the most votes and gave them an opportunity to explain why they missed votes.

  • SBE Legislative Strategy
    LEGISLATIVE SESSION PRIORITIES BACKGROUND SBE Visits to Legislature During the afternoon of January 13, Board members are encouraged to meet with their district legislators. Although SBE staff met with legislators often during session, these meetings have value because a message from a constituent always carries weight. SBE staff will provide the members with folders of information and handouts for the legislators. If you haven’t done so yet, please contact your legislators to schedule a 15 minute meeting to discuss the work of the Board. Your first meeting can begin at 2:00 p.m. Election Results and Committee Membership The 62nd Legislature will convene for 105 days beginning January 10 and will end April 24.The Democrats have retained a majority in the Senate: 27-22 and in the House 56-42, but have a slimmer majority than in the previous Legislature.1 The House has retained Representative Frank Chopp as the Speaker and the Senate has retained Senator Lisa Brown as the Majority leader. The new Senate Ways and Means Chair is Senator Ed Murray and the new House Ways and Means Chair is Representative Ross Hunter. The Education Committees have undergone major changes since last session. Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, 1st Legislative District, is remaining as the Chair of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee; however, neither of the past vice chairs was reelected (Senator Oemig and Senator Kauffman) and a few other members retired. The House Education Committee membership has also changed because Representative Dave Quall, 40th Legislative District, who was the long time House Education Committee Chair, has retired and will be replaced by Representative Sharon Tomiko Santos, 37th Legislative District.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
