Do you want your voice to be heard in Olympia?


Dear Kitsap Republican,


Do you want your voice and opinions on current legislation in Olympia to be heard? If the answer is yes, I want to introduce you to a great resource which is prepared by a group of citizen activists in Skagit County.


A brave group of ladies have assembled a team which reads through the hundreds of bills each session and find ones they believe are of most interest to conservatives--both fiscally and socially--and makes recommendations on action which can be taken to influence the outcome of the bills. They do this by sending out emails with "bundles" of bills to citizens who have signed-up to receive their updates. These emails include an easy-to-understand summary and super-easy-to-use "click & send" links so citizens can quickly take action on the issues which interest them. An example from today is at the bottom of this email.


If you would like to receive these legislative bill alerts, you can sign-up for them by sending an email to judybillings90@gmail.com with your name, phone, and email address and asking to be added to their bill alert list. (Note: Your phone will only be used to help resolve email delivery issues.)


Note: I will NOT forward these emails to you on a regular basis. If you wish to receive them, you need to sign-up for them by emailing Judy at the email address above.


If you are interested in letting your legislators in in Olympia know your opinions on what they are doing, this is a great resource to make your life easier and let your voice be heard!


Please let me know if you have any questions.


For Freedom!

5186 VOTE CON

BILL TITLE: Concerning school district elections.

Bill Summary of SB 5186 This bill changes the percent of voters voting in an election to 55% in giving approval for the indebtedness of a school district, regardless of the total number of voters voting on the proposition. Currently the requirement is 60% of voters and is based on the number of voters who voted in the last general election. By approving this bill, school boards may borrow money and issue and sell bonds with 55% of voters’ approval. This bill is also not tied to achievement by our students. About half of our students are not at grade level in math, English or science. This again, bypasses the safeguards put into place to ensure an actual majority of voters give approval. This bill would make it very difficult if not impossible to vote down school district bonds.


This bill is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education on Jan 16 at 10:30 AM . Deadline to respond is Jan16 at 9:30 AM
