IT WAS ALMOST as though the 90 Council 2 members who attended the Legislative Weekend in Olympia on March 8 and 9 became part of the legislative session itself.

“The members saw a lot of action,” reports Pat Thompson, Council 2’s Director of Legislation/Political Action. “Some of our bills were passed while they were there. As a result, they saw some of the fruits of their labor come to fruition.”

During the weekend, State Representative Aaron Reardon (D-38th District) was a special guest at a Council 2 function. He received a warm welcome from attendees, who told him his support during the session for Council 2-supported measures was appreciated.

The Legislative Weekend is held every year. It provides Council 2 members the opportunity to see the legislative process in action, to meet representatives in person and to hear their views on the issues of the day.
