What Drives A State Senator Crazy? Call A Cop And See
We don t get to spend a lot of time with 14th District State Senator Curtis King so when he is available we like to hit him up with as many topics as he has time to discuss. He had two frustrating, disappointing head-scratchers to talk about this morning.
The Odds
As of this March, Democrats control both houses of the Washington State Legislature with a 16 vote majority in the House ( 57-41) and a 7 vote majority in the Senate (28-21.with one Democratic senator -Tim Sheldon of Potlatch - caucusing with the 20 Republicans).
14th District State Senator Curtis King is angry. You hear it in his words and his tone. Why aren t Yakima restaurants able to open up? Where is the science in the shutdown? Why does the Governor maintain an iron fist control on decision making. He s angry. Dealing with that is just one of many uphill battles Republicans face in the legislative session that gets underway on Monday.
Senator King was on the Morning News today to talk Covid accommodations, the prospect of new state taxes, transportation and more. Here s what he had to say.
