I worked late late night, overtime, or I probably would have gotten this out then...
Would a better line than "The lights are on, but
no one's home" be "It's quiet. Too quiet...?"

Legislative Update from
Olympia
15 May 2015
NO ACTIVITY!
The lights are on, but
apparently no one is home -- at least as far as putting out work product is
concerned. It's all about the biennial
budget, and so far, no budget. A couple
of public hearings were held on various budget issues, most attention focusing
on tax increases.
Two legislative committee
meetings are scheduled for next week, but nothing involving firearms.
HB 1713 is included in the
Bill Status list because technically it is in play. But it's going nowhere.
BILL STATUS:

Prime sponsor Status GOAL Position
ESHB 1713 Mental health/guns
