Legislative priorities set for next session

Now that the special session has concluded in Olympia with the legislature finding about $500 million in savings, all eyes are set for the 2012 legislative session. This 60-day session commences on January 9 and is expected that the $1.5 billion hole in the budget will garner the vast majority of attention.

This past week, Three Sheets NW (www.threesheetsnw.com), a blog dedicated to covering recreational boating issues, went in depth on what's on NW Marine Trade Association's agenda.

Additionally, Ann Avary, who runs the NW Center of Excellence & Marine Technology, spent thirty minutes recently with NMTA's Director of Government Affairs to learn more about the economic impact study and to hear what's in store for their government affairs program.
