"The snow was falling so hard, the shoreline was not visible.  Thank goodness for the Garmin GPS!  This did not detour the fishing as yesterday's clients brought up 14 beautiful Lakers", reports Terry.

"I have been in Olympia working on a few issues of interest to our area.  I was able to meet with Governor Gregoire Monday morning to discuss issues with her budget more specifically removing 10 million dollars from the E911 fund to pay for an interoperable radio project on the I-5 corridor.  She has been told by her staff that the funds could be used for this project. 

I explained that according to the law the funds that have been generated by a tax on our phones is to be used only to enhance our 911 phones throughout the state, not a radio project.  She asked that I meet with her staff to resolve this issue.  I have met with her staff and we need to continue our discussions in preventing the funds from being used for this project.   I hope to meet with the governor next week to resolve this issue.

I met with Adjutant General Lowenberg’s staff to discuss co-locating public safety office and the National Guard. We agreed with the concept and to continue the discussions. 

I attended several committee meetings and testified on the following bills;
