It’s been pretty entertaining to hear the back and forth in today’s Olympia action. If you follow the state legislature, you will know that today at 5:00 is an important deadline. All bills that are not voted out of their house of origin by 5:00 pm take a significant step back if they are going to pass this year. (There's a saying in Olympia that no bill is dead in Olympia to that last gavel drops on the last day of session.)
One tactic the minority party can use to keep bills from coming up for a vote is to add amendments and speakers to each bill that comes up for a vote. That’s exactly what the Republicans are doing. You can follow the action here and you may just see a marine-related bill (Marina Rents Bill in the Senate or the Copper Bill in the House) come up for a vote, too.
