A team of lawyers, including Mr. Rava, Ms. Engrav, and others, represented the Washington State Democratic Central Committee in all of the litigation regarding the 2004 general election, including the election contest described in this essay. 1 Republican Dino Rossi won the initial count by 261 votes over Democrat Christine Gregoire, triggering an automatic machine recount pursuant to section 29A.64.021(1) of the Revised Code of Washington Annotated. See In re Election Contest of Coday, 2006 WL 572831, at *1 (Wash. Mar. 9, 2006).

  • Committee Bows to Boeing and Votes Against Bill to Tie $8.7 Billion Tax Breaks to Keeping Jobs in State
    For Immediate Release February 5, 2016 SPEEA and IAM 751 Committee bows to Boeing and votes against bill to tie $8.7 billion tax breaks to keeping jobs in state OLYMPIA – A majority of the Washington State House Finance Committee bowed to The Boeing Company today by voting “no” on HB 2638, which would have tied Washington’s $8.7 billion aerospace tax incentives to jobs. The action denies the state’s House of Representatives a vote on the issue and leaves the aerospace giant free to continue taking tax breaks from Washington, even if it keeps moving jobs out of the state. “The vote today demonstrates the power of corporate influence to overcome what is clearly the will of the people and the intent of the legislation,” said Machinists District 751 President Jon Holden. The Machinists worked hand in hand with the other large union at Boeing, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), IFPTE Local 2001, to push for legislation that stopped Boeing from receiving the full tax break and then actively moving jobs out of the state. The legislation was approved during a Special Session in November 2013 to “maintain and grow” the state’s aerospace workforce. Since then, Boeing has shed 4,057 jobs in Washington. “It is vastly disappointing to see some legislators ignore their colleagues and their constituents so blatantly,” said SPEEA President Ryan Rule. “With more than 4,000 jobs lost – including nearly 3,000 good engineering and technical jobs already moved from Washington since aerospace incentives were extended; how many more jobs must be lost before something is done?” The union presidents thanked the Committee members who supported and recognized the call from taxpayers to hold Boeing and the aerospace industry accountable for the financial support provided by the state.
