There weren't a lot of details, but a legislative committee got its first preview of the mandatory annual reporting on the size of the Washington Management Service and exempt service and the size and cost of any bonuses they receive.
The House State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee on Dec. 4 got an update on the progress of those reports required by House Bill 2049, the 2009 law initiated by the Federation.
"Our participation in this legislation has been motivated by our frustration in trying to obtain data from all agencies about the growth of WMS/exempt personnel and the benefits they receive compared to our members," Federation Lobbyist Matt Zuvich told the panel. "To date, it has been a black box with a secret key we were not privy to.
"We have only been given a preview of the DOP (Department of Personnel) report, and have not had an opportunity to scrub it thoroughly. Initially, I would tell you that it looks like we may be moving in the right direction. We are excited about that."
