State Sen. Steve Litzow to Hold Telephone Town Hall Wednesday

Residents of the 41st District will get a phone call on Wednesday for a telephone town hall meeting with the State Sen. Steve Litzow (R-Mercer Island).

 

If you live in the 41st District and your phone rings on Wednesday, it could be State Sen. Steve Litzow (R-Mercer Island).

Litzow will call 41st District residents on Wednesday for a telephone town hall meeting.

Under the telephone town hall format, thousands of constituents will receive automatically generated telephone calls to their homes in the 41st Legislative District around 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 13, according to an announcement from Litzow's office. To participate, they can stay on the line.

Residents also have the option to call in toll-free by dialing 1-877-229-8493 and entering the code 110085. 

The one-hour forum will be largely question-driven by constituents who will have the opportunity to discuss issues debated and actions taken during the 2012 legislative session, according to the office.

Any questions before or after the event may be directed to Litzow’s office via email, steve.litzow@leg.wa.gov, or phone at 425-453-3076.

We too, love having our Farmers' Market return! Opening day was a bit weather-challenged. ThankRead More you merchants for enduring the wet and cold for our new extended hours! What a wonderful sight will return to the plaza when the sunshine calls back all the families with happy, giggling children. Market day is a date of dinner out (side) & shopping (vegetables, fruits and now HedgeHog Toffee) with my husband. Doesn't get much better than that! SEE YOUR THERE! Susan Gerend

Agreed Mark, Much as this solution seems crazy, some things are worth paying for (law and order, aRead More decent safety net, good schools and yes roads). I do blame the tax hawks though. Washington already has a relatively regressive tax structure. The "choke the government" solution seems carried way too far.

I thank the author for his well thought out arguments regarding these important transportationRead More issues in Washington state. While I believe some of the ideas presented are debatable, for example I believe that a vital and well used transit system ought to be part of our congestion relief plan in metropolitan areas, the lack of realistic funding options for this system cannot be ignored. However, our legislature (both parties included) seems to place a higher priority on "no new taxes" than creating a sustainable future for the state in many areas, including the transportation system. More than that, though, we live in a state whose citizens have varied interests and priorities. Most of all, we need our government to set priorities so that citizen interests and needs can be reasonably served. It seems we are pretending that we can base tax policies and tax rates exclusively on individual self-interest, as is often the consequence "no new taxes" scheme (e.g. if I don't get a direct benefit for myself, I won't support paying for it). This seems to me to be as much a part of this problem as current transportation system priorities.

It gets worse folks. I was part of a selected focus group a few weeks ago of people who live alongRead More I-405 conducted by a well-known marketing research firm and paid for by WSDOT. They are considering options that would charge commuters to use a new lane on I-405 & charge for the existing carpool lane too (even if you have two people in the car!)
