Review of the Washington Regular Legislative Session

Last week, we kicked off our breakfast series with a review of the regular legislative session. We looked forward to dissecting the moving parts of the 105-day regular session and thinking about how the impacts of this session will play out in the Washington State economy.

We talked through issues ranging from mental health to McCleary and took questions from the audience. We had plenty to dig into with three of the most thoughtful public servants in Olympia: Senator David Frockt, Democratic lead on the Senate Capital Budget; Representative Paul Graves, assistant ranking member on the Health Care and Wellness Committee; and Nathan Johnson, Chief Policy Officer, Health Care Authority.

Take a listen to the conversation and let us know what you think. If you like what you hear, follow us on SoundCloud to make sure you catch our next podcast. You can also find us on iTunes. And be sure to join us on June 6 for our next breakfast: Health Care Reform in a Time of Trump.
