If the state fails to do that, more and more citizens are going to start taking matters into their own hands.”

Glad he said it.  Thats exactly what it has come to.  Not just with wolves either, that statement applies to all predators.  Wdfw has completely failed at predator management.

House Bill 2097 passed the House unanimously and now heads to the state Senate for further consideration.

Passing unanimously says something, if it passes the Senate with strong support and Inslee vetoed the bill, it might survive a veto?

State legislatures can override governors' vetoes. Depending on the state, this can be done during the regular legislative session, in a special session following the adjournment of the regular session, or during the next legislative session. The rules for legislative overrides of gubernatorial vetoes in Washington are listed below.

How many legislators are required to vote for an override? Two-thirds of members present in both chambers.

Two-thirds of members present in both chambers must vote to override a veto. If all members are in attendance, this is 66 of the 98 members in the Washington House of Representatives and 33 of the 49 members in the Washington State Senate. Washington is one of 36 states that requires a two-thirds vote from both of its legislative chambers to override a veto.


How can vetoes be overridden after the legislature has adjourned?

According to Article III, Section 12 of the Washington Constitution, the legislature can call a special veto session to consider overrides of bills the governor vetoed after adjournment. Two-thirds of members in both chambers must agree to do so. The session may not exceed five days. The legislature may also consider vetoed bills during the next regular session.
Authority: Article III, Section 12 of the Washington Constitution.

"Every act which shall have passed the legislature shall be, before it becomes a law, presented to the governor. If he approves, he shall sign it; but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have originated, which house shall enter the objections at large upon the journal and proceed to reconsider. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members present shall agree to pass the bill it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of the members present, it shall become a law; but in all such cases the vote of both houses shall be determined by the yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting for or against the bill shall be entered upon the journal of each house respectively."

He'll veto it and then brow beat his boot lickers.........

Dead....Senate refused to review the bill

[Skyvalhunter]

Just who made the decision on this? Maybe we should refuse to pay them until they do their job. But when it comes to increasing our Lisc and permit fees you can bet they will pass that

Senator Kevin Van De Wege is killing the bill. Kevin.VanDeWege@leg.wa.gov 360-477-0548 cell phone 360-786-7646

As of this morning, still in committee, must move by April 3 or be dead.  Flood Kevin's office, force a hearing.  A few thousand pushes would probably do it.
Thanks

  I sent him an e-mail

[Wunderlich33]

email sent

[andersonjk4]

Individual emails sent to every member of the committee.

@bearpaw Would a new section for Action Items be something worth creating?  The success of BHA and other groups (including those on the opposite side of many of our battles) is getting grassroots support from their members and the public in general.  Getting a few hundred emails to the committee members for issues like these may have a real impact on whether they see the light of day or not.  Having a spot where members could easily see those current issues needing our voice might really help our cause.

If that is so, he is just doing the bidding of the governor.......

Out of committee, ways and means today, still alive
