Our program on July 15th was Representative Mark Harmsworth (R-44) talking about the outcome of the 2016 Washington State Legislative session. During the course of the nickname. His goal was to reduce the cost of traveling the express toll lanes during the non-busy periods in the evening and on weekends. Jesse Jones, Channel 7, likes Representative Harmsworth because of his work on the I-405 express toll lane controversy.
He spoke about the McCleary Decision and the fact that there is no silver bullet. The next session will likely include more work on the McCleary Decision and a Transportation package. The US Hwy 2 Trestle is going to be a major project according to Harmsworth. Questions and answers followed his presentation.
