Good sign

Just the fact that they’re having this hearing is a GOOD sign!

I'll be there

finding a place to park that isn’t a mile away could be a problem. The Capitol Campus isn’t user friendly

I can’t make it to Olympia from Bellingham today due to health problems, but I would like to point out that the building where they are having the meeting is named after Johnny Cherberg,
HUSKY COACH from 1953- 56! It would be kind of nice if someone brought that up in the meeting.
