Marina Rents hearing is tomorrow

As the marina-rents issue picks up momentum, the next step in this sausage-making legislative process is that this bill will be heard in House and Senate committees.

These hearings are scheduled tomorrow for the House and Wednesday for the Senate.

Recognizing that many (if not all of you) will be working during the hearings and won’t be able to attend, the second best way to make your voice heard on this issue is an email to the committee chairs with your feedback.

Rep. Dave Upthegrove: Upthegrove.dave@leg.wa.gov

Sen. Kevin Ranker: ranker.kevin@leg.wa.gov.

(If you would like to attend the hearings, please let me know and I’ll send along that info, map etc. You can reach me at "peter at nmta.net"

Here is more info on House Bill 1553: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2011-12/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1553.pdf

Senate Bill 5550 (which will be heard on Wed): http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2011-12/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5550.pdf

Please note that NMTA hasn’t taken a position either way on marina rents. What we are taking a position on is giving our members the tools needed to advocate effectively on this and other issues that impact our industry.
