Say It Isn't So!

 


Local ski area operators are currently working with state health officials to ensure their seasonal business is not negatively impacted the same way agritourism businesses were after Governor Inslee’s office caused confusion, due to utilizing a poor process to develop the guidelines.  It took the governor’s office three attempts to set guidelines for Central Washington agritourism businesses, mainly because the governor’s staff failed to include operators in their random rule-making process.  This has caused unnecessary and costly confusion among agritourism businesses in modified Phase I counties (Benton, Chelan, Douglas, Franklin, and Yakima).  While waiting for the final guidelines from the state, ski area operators are planning to limit capacity, regularly test employees, reduce size of instruction classes, and use current food service guidelines.

After all, Naste representatives told California regulators not to impose a cap on how high an LCFS could increase fuel costs, and allow gas prices to continue to climb (and make it profitable for them to develop more expensive energy sources). Thus, while talking to Washington State lawmakers, Naste’...

Source: ShiftWA.org Rumor has it that Governor Inslee is expected to release his next budget proposal on Thursday, December 17 th  (he is constitutionally required to submit this by December 20 th ).  In the coming days, we will provide some good ideas which we do not expect to be included the governor’s proposed July 2021 – June 2023 budget, and some bad ideas which we unfortunately do expect to be in that proposal.  We’ll start our budget effort off with an easy one: We do not expect the governor to financially assist parents who have taken over the responsibility and financial burden of educating their children.  Washington State school districts receive approximately $16,000 per student from federal, state, and local revenue sources, with currently none of that money going directly to families which are now hosting the school in their homes. Many families have had one parent lose wages to educate their student, while others have hired tutors. Some have enrolled t...
