Priorities for a Healthy Washington
2008 Legislature Makes Progress on Environmental Priorities
Despite a short 60-day session and a chilly revenue forecast, progress was made
on all of the environmental community’s Priorities for a Healthy
Washington. This progress creates a foundation to build on in the 2009 Legislative Session.
