  • 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 .

    DELAWARE GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATIVE HALL DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 March 4, 2021 Jeff Bezos Chief Executive Officer Amazon.com, Inc. 410 Terry Ave. N Seattle, WA 98109 Andy Jassy Chief Executive Officer Amazon Web Services 410 Terry Ave. N Seattle, WA 98109 RE: Encouraging a free and fair National Labor Relations Board election Dear Mr. Bezos and Mr. Jassy: Last week President Biden delivered a clear and unequivocal message to Amazon, its many thousands of employees, and the American people: Workers in the United States have the right and the freedom to organize and to advocate for their best interests in the workplace, and no company has the right to silence their voices, period. We write to echo the President’s sentiments and strongly urge Amazon to respect a free and fair National Labor Relations Board election in Bessemer, Alabama that will have implications for workers all across the nation, including several thousand of our constituents in Delaware. Amazon has realized enormous success through the pandemic, reaping record profits while continuing to grow and expand its services to an ever greater number of customers. While technology and innovation play key roles in Amazon’s unprecedented achievements in the world of commerce, your company is built on its workers. Your professional accomplishments and your personal fortunes are directly attributable to the productivity of Amazon’s workforce. Please remember this as you direct your company strategy related to organized labor and the fair treatment of your employees. Reports of the tactics employed by Amazon to oppose the organization effort in Alabama are troubling to say the least.

    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0482 September 28, 2016 Richard Cordray, Director Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street N.W. Washington D.C. 20552 Dear Director Cordray, RE: Docket No. CFPB-2016-0025 or RIN 3170-AA40 Thank you for your leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Your agency has helped millions of consumers in the financial sector who just need a fair playing field. We appreciate your work and your focus to your mission. We greatly appreciate the recent release of draft rules concerning small loans and we applaud your goal of “proposing strong protections aimed at ending payday debt traps.” As you know, Washington State reformed our payday lending regulations in 2009 with our law going in to effect in 2010. Since that time, according to the Department of Financial Institutions 2014 report, consumers in Washington have saved over $666 million in fees that would have otherwise been paid to payday lenders. These savings are the result of consumers being able to escape the cycle of debt often caused by payday loans. The Washington law curbs the worst elements of debt traps; loan volume, time in debt, and loan size are all down from pre-reform levels. Payday loan volume has fallen by over 75%, and the amount of time that a typical borrower is indebted has fallen by 50% (down from 161 days in 2009 to 83 days in 2014). Although Washington payday loans can be as large as $700, the typical loan size has continued to fall since the enactment of the reforms (from $412 in 2009 to $389 in 2014).
