[Update: See the next post for an update on Laurelon & HB3071]
HB3071 will now go to a State Senate committee, very likely the Consumer Protection and Housing Committee. Lois Jones, Laurelon resident, writes:
"These last few months have been incredibly frustrating and stressful. I can't believe how depressed this whole process has made me and other Laurelon residents who want desperately to stay in our beloved homes and neighborhood."How to help: Please help the long-time residents of Laurelon stop the Hospital from legislating away the homes they own and love. Email the members of the WA State Senate's Consumer Protection and Housing Committee and urge them to stop HB3071 (now SHB3071):
Brian Weinstein - Chair (D) Weinstein.Brian@leg.wa.gov
Claudia Kauffman - Vice Chair (D) kauffman.claudia@leg.wa.gov
Jim Honeyford - Ranking Minority Member (R) Honeyford.Jim@leg.wa.gov
Jerome Delvin (R) delvin.jerome@leg.wa.gov
Mary Margaret Haugen (D) haugen_ma@leg.wa.gov
Ken Jacobsen (D) jacobsen.ken@leg.wa.gov
Derek Kilmer (D) kilmer.derek@leg.wa.gov
Bob McCaslin (R) mccaslin.bob@leg.wa.gov
Rodney Tom (D) tom.rodney@leg.wa.gov
Individual emails are definitely most effective, but if you're rushed, you can email all members of the Committee at once.
