Water is one of the most important issues in Olympia in 2017, a status that is likely to continue for a long while.  In 2018, it is directly connected to the capital budget, which is connected to McCleary. In other words, the subject is tied into so many policy discussions, it’s impossible to overlook.  This panel will include some of the most important voices in the discussion about water, about Hirst, and about economic development.

State Senator Guy Palumbo: Vice Chair, Senate Energy, Environment & Technology Committee
