Dear Friends and
Neighbors,
I’m very pleased to report that lawmakers joined in a
bipartisan way last night to approve the long-awaited capital budget for 2017-19. It
includes matching funds for K-12 schools, initial funding for Wells Hall at Wenatchee
Valley College and support for many other important projects throughout the
12th District.
I worked very hard to advocate for many of the projects that
made the 12th District funding list, including the Chelan County Emergency
Operations Center, Twisp Civic Building, Icicle Water Project, the Peshastin
Wastewater Treatment Plant and others.
Funding for these projects would not have been possible had
it not also been for the continuous hard work and advocacy by many
stakeholders, including Wenatchee Valley College, Chelan County, City of Twisp,
Chelan County PUD, and many other groups. Our area should be very proud of the
work we accomplished together in securing funding for these projects.
Passage of the capital budget represents many months and, in
some cases, years of hard work. This is a major bipartisan victory, especially
so early into the session. While I’m disappointed it took as long as it did, I
am very pleased with the outcome for our district.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as your 12th
District state senator.

My first bill signed into law
(HB 2058 in 2013) directed the state to display Transportation and Capital Budget
projects, by legislative district, in a user-friendly online map. Transparency
in government is always helpful. I hope you find this information helpful.
