“This is an excellent opportunity for folks back in district to touch base with us in Olympia from the comfort of their own homes,” said Chandler, R-Granger. “We've got a lot of issues before us as we debate our state's budget situation. The decisions we make today will impact all Washingtonians for years to come. We'd like to hear the thoughts and opinions of those in the 15th Legislative District as we debate these issues with our colleagues in the Legislature.”
“It's always good to hear from those we represent, especially during session,” said Taylor, R-Moxee. “We look forward to answering questions and exchanging ideas on the economy, our state's budget shortfall, the governor's tax increase proposal, or any other areas of interest.”
