As you know, the Legislature returns today to start a special session to finish work on a budget, revenue package and other legislation.
We must keep the pressure on.
MONDAY'S JOB ACTION IN OLYMPIA:
Sign-waving to welcome legislators back for the special session will be Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the corner of Jefferson and 15th, east of the Capitol Campus and OB2-DOT Building-Maple Park Plaza. You can go directly there or to the Federation office first, but because of tight parking in and around the Federation Building, we encourage carpooling or taking the DASH shuttle. If you have questions, call April Sims at 1-800-562-6002.
TUESDAY'S JOB ACTION IN OLYMPIA:
Sign-waving on the Capitol Campus, 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 16. Meet at the Tivoli Fountain on Capitol Way. From there, we'll walk to the sidewalks in front of the Capitol Building. Coffee and donuts provided!
WEDNESDAY'S JOB ACTION IN OLYMPIA:
The Federation will have a major presence on the Capitol grounds Wednesday, 9 a.m. to dusk. We're finalizing details this morning-watch for information about where and when and what.
RALLY TODAY TO END $67 MILLION TAX LOOPHOLE FOR OUT-OF-STATE BANKS
As part of the revenue debate in Olympia that will continue in the special session starting Monday is a proposal to end a $67 million giveaway to big out-of-state banks. But powerful bank lobbyists are working hard to make sure this plan doesn't end up in the final revenue package.
We need to join with our coalition partners and call out the banks and pressure legislators to do the right thing so they cut this wasteful tax giveaway and not schools, healthcare, services for those in need and public safety.
The event is:
11 a.m., today, Monday, March 15, at the Chase Bank branch at Second and Union in downtown Seattle.
You can join a pre-rally sign-making party from 9-10:45 a.m. at the Fuse Office at 1402 Third Ave., Suite 510, Seattle, WA 98101.
