Good news from Olympia per Kirby Wilbur
I hope all of you already know the good news from Olympia today. Our Senate caucus of 23 members have joined with Democratic Senators Tim Sheldon and Rodney Tom to announce a bi-partisan majority caucus which gives us operational control of the Senate. Senator Tom will be the majority leader, we will chair six committees, the Democrats will chair six and three will be co-chaired. Without the election of Bruce Dammeieir and Barbara Bailey and the ballot chasing on behalf of Don Benton, this could never have happened.
Good news on this Monday. Spread the word.
