I guess It is redundent to point out that WA state already has a state license that plumbers need for work, one which requires testing. And, contractors need to have a license also to legally do work... So not only is this bill redundant it just shows how out of touch the legislature really is and to...

It is pretty sad when there has to be a state law stating that in good economic times the state has to save money for bad economic times, and not overspend like Gregoire and the rest of the legislation did. Hopefully this one piece of legislationg will quell the Dems cry of "STATE INCOME TAX."

I agree with fulfillment of contract obligation, but when the term of the contract is up and we re-enter negotiation, all bets are off. What we previously agreed to is no more. The negotiation for a new contract should not be predicated on meeting a negotiated agreement at all. If we don’t reach...
