The majority caucus in the house and senate held their ground throughout the 2014 legislative session, with the usual “no new taxes” vs. “need for rethinking tax breaks and some creative thought on revenue enhancement,” with little significant work being accomplished. The legislators worked on a number of major issues, including amendments to the marijuana statute (Initiative 502) enacted in 2012, oil-transport via rails, gun control, minimum-wage, and gasoline-tax increases for enhancements to the transportation infra- structure, but by the end the only noteworthy accomplishments aside from a minimal supple- mental budget was the ample placing of blame on political opponents. During the 2014 session only 225 bills passed both chambers. This figure is well below the 10-year average of 311 bills being passed during the “short sessions” taking place in even-numbered years (Washington State Legislature 2014; Bauman 2014; Washington State Wire 2014).

    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.

    Ribbon Cutting | June 18, 1988 (From left to right) Jack G. Neupert (WSCC Board of Directors), Robert C. Wallace (WSCC Board of Directors), Governor John Spellman, Mayor Charles Royer, James R. Ellis (Chairman, WSCC Board of Directors), Phyllis Lamphere (WSCC Board of Directors), Governor Booth Gardner, State Senator Emilio Cantu, Rhonda Hilyer (WSCC Board of Directors), H. Dewayne Kreager (Vice Chairman, WSCC Board of Directors), Jean Gardner (wife of the Governor). WSCC entered its twenty-fifth year of operation in 2012 since opening its doors on June 18, 1988. From the leadership and vision of James R. Ellis and the original board of directors, to the unwavering stewardship of Chairman Frank K. Finneran and the current board, there are a lot of memories of what worked and what didn’t, the expansion of the building, the opening of The Conference Center, and battles fought and won. All in all, a quarter century of success. Page 1 Before the opening of the Washington State Convention Center in 1988, no one could have guessed the magnitude of the contribution it would make to the State of Washington and the City of Seattle. Following 25 years of operation, the Washington State Convention Center remains a popular convention destination and provides a positive contribution to the local economy of the state of Washington. One of my top priorities is to create a thriving economic climate, supporting key job sectors and promoting job growth. Since opening, the Center has contributed over $4.4 billion to the state’s economy in the form of convention delegate spending and over $272 million in sales taxes paid by out-of-state visitors.
