Send A Message-WSTFA Pt 1
Folks in the tree fruit industry, and agriculture in general, are being encouraged to speak up and help educate lawmakers in Olympia about the good and the bad in the changes they propose.
Anti-Idling Bill Pt 1
Jon DeVaney, President of the Washington State Tree Fruit
Association, says SSB 6304 contains a provision that would prohibit trucks over 10,000 from idling longer than 5 minutes.
What Makes A Legislator Effective?
When it comes to passing actual legislation, putting it forward and getting it all the way through the process, it can be difficult to measure exactly which legislators are effective. Not to mention which types of legislators tend to be more effective, moderates or extremists? And does majority-party membership increase effectives?
In an innovative new paper, “Effective Lawmaking Across Congressional Eras”, University of Pittsburgh professor of political science Max Goplerud proposes a new measure of legislative effectiveness that may help us to answer some of these complex questions.
Farmworker Survey Bills Pt 1
The Washington State Tree Fruit Association is urging members and others in agriculture to let your legislators know they should not be supporting SB 5996.

Keeping Securities Safe | OAS Episode 165
Our American States
Our focus in this podcast is state securities administrators. These are the agencies in every state that oversee investor protection and efficient capital formation. Their key focus is protecting consumers who purchase investment advice or securities.
Guests on the podcast are Melanie Senter Lubin, the Maryland securities commissioner and president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, and Faith Anderson, the chief of Registration and Regulatory Affairs of the Securities Division of the Washington state Department of Financial Institutions.
They discussed the various roles state securities regulators play, the assistance they can offer state legislators and legislative staff, and how state regulators work with their federal counterparts. They also sketched out their perspective on a variety of policy topics, including licensing and digital currency. Both Lubin and Anderson also wanted legislators to know that the securities regulars in your state are always available to answer questions for you or your constituents.

Unpacking the Housing Crisis | OAS Episode 162
Our American States
While estimates vary, there is agreement that the U.S. is short several million homes. Many who study the housing situation in the U.S. have dubbed it a housing crisis.
Housing has usually been seen as a local issue, but as the housing affordability situation has worsened, states are increasingly involved in the search for solutions.
We asked three guests to join this podcast and share their perspectives.
First up is Arica Young, the associate director of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Terwilliger Center for Housing. Young, who has decades of experience studying housing and community development, discusses how the crisis has hit renters and the substantial barriers to building multifamily housing in much of the country.
The other guests on this episode are Whitney Airgood-Obrycki, a researcher at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, and Karl Eckhart, a vice president at the National Association of Home Builders.
All three guests point to the remarkably complex set of factors that affect housing, from zoning regulations to the price of steel and the shortage of electricians, plumbers and others in the trades.

Episode 181: Episode 181: Not Your Business
The Monday edition of The Rotunda Podcast hosted by Trimmel Gomes explores how local governments fight state lawmakers to maintain local control, similar to how state governments fight the feds. Gomes interviews Miami Mayor and president of the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, Francis Suarez. The mayor called on fellow Republicans in Tallahassee to respect local control.
Gomes also talks with Ralph Thomas, the Florida Association of Counties president. He expressed concerns over bills like (S.B. 90), allowing businesses to claim damages from local governments if they pass an ordinance that causes a revenue loss of 15% or more.
Also, Governor Ron DeSantis keeps his COVID-19 booster status to himself, sparking speculation that he’s no longer in tune with former President Joe Biden, who is considered a close ally.

New episodes are on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Democrat legislators in California have been busy with two assembly bills that have fallen victim to the evil that is known as the, "gut-and-amend" trick. AB455 and AB1120 are two bills that if passed will mandate the C19 shot as well as boosters for all Californians.
President Biden and General Milley should be facing the death penalty for their apocalyptic failure in Afghanistan.
Youtube cancels a 45 minute video I did with a fellow radio host regarding whether or not to get the C19 shot. We already know big tech doesn't care about free speech. These communist tech companies need to be reined in or cancelled.
