Legislative Update, February 9th, 2012
Urgent Legislative Update
Dear WAPT Members,
It’s time again to let our legislators know how essential our Regional Transportation Coordinators are to our Success!
The legislative session ends March 8th but the budgets will be released following the February 16th revenue forecast. Members, we need to contact our Legislators immediately!
Please contact your local legislators with a message supporting STARS and most importantly supporting our Transportation Coordinators. We must remind our Legislators that the Transportation Coordinators are essential to the cost-effective implementation of the new funding formula and the continued training that’s included with STARS. Please share with your Legislator stories of success.
Email addresses for all members follow the same format:
firstname.lastname@leg.wa.gov
In addition, members should contact members of the Ways and Means Committees and leadership in both the House and Senate as follows:

http://www.leg.wa.gov/Senate/Committees/WM/Pages/MembersStaff.aspx
Members of leadership in the House and Senate are as follows:

Last year we had great success from our membership to protect our interest, we can make a difference again!
United, We Will Make a difference!
Thank You,
Ron Lee, Legislative Liaison
Tom Culliton, Legislative Liaison
