Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow...

While many stayed at home today, NMTA's legislative team was out in full force in Olympia, advocating for our members. Specifically, NMTA's Director of Government Affairs, testified in opposition to the tapping of the Recreation Resource Account to study the benefits of a marine innovation center. Similar to yesterday's bill (see the previous blog on the subject), this bill, while well-intentioned, goes about the funding in a way that has not sat well with our members.

Rep. Morris, the prime sponsor, tees up the bill and then Doug Levy (RBAW) and Peter Schrappen weigh in on why the concept is something that has merit, but the funds should come from some where else. 

What do you think?
