I'm excited to help #waleg build back better today.

Rep. @wickse's HB 1329 is exactly how.

While #idleg Rep @MeganBlanksma work to silence #healthcareheroes public health boards, we're working to let more voices be heard. That's building back better. That's leadership for you.


Here is how we #buildbackbetter... @wickse HB 1329 will:

a) Allow public comment, including an online component regardless if the meeting is in-person or online

b) Require recordings be retained of public meetings

c) Put in minutes why an executive session to exclude ze public


Watch us today. 🇺🇸

Three bills on deck today... so might be a while before HB 1329. Will live-tweet out ze action as able.

But we will have a real hearing with real testimony & real sunlight as we work to build back better.


We also have HB 1180, a weak @WaHouseGOP #opengov bill with a lot of testimony to come also. Bill doesn't go far enough as I'll explain. Basically no online public comment option.


But enough about weak bills. HB 1180 won't go anywhere.

More worried about the concern trolling to amend and likely weaken HB 1329. #waleg has way too many lobbyists who don't work for the people but for the government bench as you can see below.
