Hey, #Waleg!
Shoreline is also poised to legalize commercial uses in residential zones across the entire city, allowing cafes, restaurants, brewpubs, markets, hardware stores and professional services pretty much everywhere outside of culs-de-sac. Not just on corner lots, with parking maximums in many cases.

Excellent WA bill HB 1183 with several tasty ingredients just passed out of House Local Gov't.
Includes elevator code reform, passive house insulation allowances, bans on facade modulation and upper level setbacks for certain building types, and more.

Let’s do this in #waleg.
California is debating legislation right now that would ban all ICE employees from ever being hired by a public agency for life. This is good and next year's Democratic House needs to provide a full roster of ICE employees to help facilitate state efforts like this one.

Massachusetts has $2 BILLION more than they anticipated to spend on education and public transportation thanks to a small 4% surtax on millionaires.
We know what we have to do to make life better for regular, working Americans.
The billionaires in charge just refuse to do it.

Is there a #WaLeg bill to do this?
As of Jan. 1, it's a misdemeanor offense in California for law enforcement to wear a mask while on duty. State and local police have the authority to issue citations, which creates a public record of DHS officer names.
This is happening right now in the city of Pomona, a city run by 7 Democrats.

This edition tightens rules on window tinting, bans lifted trucks, introduces penalties for shops making these modifications, and allows camera-based HOV enforcement.

Also dead this week: the neighborhood cafe bill, despite a 94-2 vote in the House on the fourth day of the session.
It didn't even get a hearing in Senate local government.

SPS is "broke" because #waleg refuses to amply fund public schools. So what do we do? Do we just give up and embrace austerity, underpaying teachers and gutting special education services? Or do we push back hard and make #waleg fix it?
The millionaires tax is the wild card.

In response to a question about considering cutting funding for highway expansion projects to fill the budget shortfall, @juliareedwa.bsky.social doesn't want to spend another dollar on highway expansion until we address our existing backlog of maintenance of our transportation infrastructure.
