Three Citizen Initiatives Score Public
Hearings in Legislature
|
|
The fate of initiatives to repeal the state’s new capital gains tax, erase its carbon market program and make it easier for workers to opt out of Washington’s new long-term care insurance program will be decided by Washington voters this fall.
But the future of citizen initiatives concerning police vehicle pursuits, taxes and parents’ voice in the education of their children in public schools could be settled by state lawmakers before the session ends March 7.
House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, and Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig, D-Spokane, said Friday there will be public hearings on Initiative 2113 to remove most restrictions on police engaging in vehicle pursuits, I-2111 to make it harder for the state and local governments to impose an income tax, and I-2081 to create a “bill of rights” for parents of public school students.

Reps. Barkis, Hutchins Urge Governor to Declare State of Emergency Over State's Ferry System, Procure Two New Boats in Two Years |
|
House Republican transportation leads Andrew Barkis, R-Olympia, and Spencer Hutchins, R-Gig Harbor, have introduced bipartisan legislation calling on Governor Jay Inslee to declare a ferry procurement emergency and use his gubernatorial powers to acquire two non-hybrid electric ferries within two years.
Washington's ferry system, serving as the heartbeat of coastal communities and a critical transportation artery for commuters, is facing numerous challenges. The aging fleet is struggling to maintain service across 10 vital routes, with delays and cancellations serving as a constant source of frustration for passengers.
Barkis and Hutchins say the governor's pursuit of hybrid-electric ferries has resulted in skyrocketing costs and sluggish procurement, further worsening the ongoing situation. The lawmakers have expressed support for the use of biodiesel ferries until the market is able to provide functional, lower-cost electric options.
In 2019, the Legislature extended a contract with a local shipyard to purchase five new 144-car biodiesel ferries one after another. However, the governor's decision to transition all government fleets to zero-emission vehicles, including ferries, led to a multi-year renegotiation of the contract focused on constructing hybrid-electric ferries. Unfortunately, this endeavor failed spectacularly when the price of the new vessels skyrocketed to $412.4 million, more than double the cost of the last ferry purchased in 2018.
House Bill 2498 would create a clear pathway for Washington State Ferries to purchase two non-hybrid electric ferries using the existing 144-car design in an expedited manner with the goal of having the first new ferry delivered within two years. By declaring a state of emergency, the governor would be able to cut through red tape and streamline permitting and procurement processes.

Employer groups air concerns on unemployment insurance for striking workers
Senate hearing: On Thursday, AWB and other business associations testified against a bill that would allow striking workers to receive unemployment benefits. AWB News has a full report and video from the hearing in the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee. The House passed the bill 53-44 last Monday.
Main concerns: House Bill 1893 could lead to higher unemployment insurance costs for employers and potentially prolong strikes and delay projects, speakers testified. The bottom line is that the bill is a misuse of the unemployment insurance fund.
"The fundamental issue here is unemployment insurance is intended to replace wages for workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. A strike is not that," said AWB Government Affairs Director Bob Battles.
Still moving: This morning, HB 1893 was voted out of the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee and sent to Rules Committee. It will next move to the full Senate for consideration. If the bill does move forward, AWB is pushing for it to go the Ways & Means Committee to study its fiscal impacts.
Take action: AWB's Action Alert is still live. The bill could come up for a vote in the Senate any day, so please tell your senators to oppose HB 1893. Thank you to everyone who has already responded to previous Action Alerts on this proposal.

Sign AWB's Letter Opposing Increase in Real Estate Excise Tax
AWB has drafted a letter to legislators asking them to vote no on House Bill 2276. The bill imposes a 1% real estate tax on property sales above $3.025 million and would give Washington the second-highest real estate tax in the country.
“While we recognize our state’s significant housing affordability problems, HB 2276 is not an answer,” the letter reads. “While being pitched as a ‘mansion tax’ on expensive homes, the primary incidence of this increase will fall on commercial properties where people work and multi-family apartment buildings, which typically provide the most affordable housing options in a community. In addition, this higher rate will apply to developable land, and thus make many single-family developments more expensive as the REET will be imposed both when the land is sold and again when the newly constructed homes are sold.”

The proposed ban on natural gas is back! HB 1589 is back this year, and this time we have even more concerns. Based on our engagement last year, there is widespread agreement to remove the proposed ban on new natural gas hookups. However, now lawmakers are discussing removing or changing a utility’s obligation to serve its customers. Customers don’t get to choose their utility, but now the largest utility in the state wants to choose its customers! Without the “obligation to serve requirement”, a utility would be able to decide what neighborhood, block, or city to cut off service to.
The hospitality industry will be severely impacted if utilities have the right to decide who, where and when to serve their customers. Click here to tell your lawmaker to OPPOSE a natural gas ban.

How AI is Transforming the Retail Industry
and Benefiting from Its Use
|
|
According to experts at Dell Technologies, AI is leading the way for innovation in retail in 2024. It enables retailers to improve customer and employee experiences and optimize their operations. Dell Technologies and its partners are helping retailers achieve these goals by providing solutions that accelerate innovation and create long-term value.
AI is a key factor for success in retail. Michael Dell recently shared his vision of the superpowers AI will give to organizations. He said, “If you’re not applying AI across your organization and thinking deeply about reinvention, you’re already behind.” Retailers have been using AI for years. For example, to enhance computer vision, to streamline supply chains, or to suggest products to customers. New capabilities like Generative AI can also help with customer experience, as well as with internal operations, marketing initiatives, or customer support and engagement. Data Management is essential, and retailers must have a strategy to access data from different systems.
At NRF 2024, Dell Technologies hosted a “Big Idea” session focused on the responsible use of AI in retail. Traditional forms of AI are important to provide insights that can be used across broader applications of Generative AI models. Using Computer Vision as an example, we can monitor customer traffic patterns, detect potential risks, prevent loss, and enable frictionless shopping. Combining data from computer vision with inventory can help prioritize stocking. Using digital twins can help design store layouts and simulate shopper experiences without making major changes. Generative AI can use all these data sources to help automate store management tasks and improve employee training and service response, thus enhancing shopping experiences.
AI will need the right platforms to deliver value for retailers. Retailers need a variety of technology solutions and services to support retail workloads from the front end to the back of the store and from the store to the distribution center to the corporate. They need the flexibility to deploy retail capabilities their way, from the edge to the cloud.

Is Your Business Ready for the L&I Inspector? |
|
Unannounced safety inspections are rising at the rate of a 10% increase per year, according to data the WR Safety Team gathered from national inspection data. We expect the trend in 2024 to be no different. Inspections can be triggered for different reasons, such as a complaint from a current or former employee or a customer or following a significant accident at your store location.
- It is imperative to maintain key items and have them readily available for inspectors that may drop by without notice. Items inspectors routinely request include:
- Accident Prevention Program
-
Accident logs (OSHA 300 Form)
- Safety Meeting Minutes for the last 12 months
- Training records (First Aid, Forklift, specific tool operation, etc.)
- Any accident investigation reports
- Automobile lift inspection records (for automotive businesses)
When an inspection is complaint-driven, inspectors often request additional documents such as Job Hazard Analysis, Hazardous Chemical Plan, and Shop Safety Walks checklists.
If these documents are not readily available, the inspection might expand to include other topics that may result in additional citations and fines. Please use this checklist to assist safety inspection readiness.

How to Get Your Ask for a Second Gift Right |
|

Donations are crucial for nonprofits of all sizes. And while it’s always a goal to attract new donors and grow your donor base, it’s equally if not more important to ensure those donors provide a second gift. Adding one new donor to your portfolio costs about five times more than retaining a donor — not to mention the time sunk into acquiring a new donor, according to NonProfitEasy.
“The amount of energy you put into getting a gift from people for the first time, it's just not worth losing them,” said Dalene Neopolitan, director of corporate, foundation and government support at Woods Services, a Langhorne, Pennsylvania-based provider of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “The more you can hang onto those people, the more committed they're going to become to your organization — if you're stewarding them in the right way.”

Former Silverdale Chamber Director, First Mayor of Bainbridge, Passes at 87 |
|
No one else held both the titles Sam Granato came to possess in the early 1990s. But in the decades following, the "renaissance man" from Bainbridge Island's other activities easily overshadowed the particular job that changed names during Granato's stint — even in his own home.
Granato, who passed away at age 87 on Jan. 24, in 1989 was elected mayor of the town of Winslow, a small municipality then comprised of the blocks around Bainbridge Island's ferry terminal and Winslow Way district. He was elected at the same time a group of islanders lobbied to incorporate the entire island into its own city, called "home rule." So just more than a year into his term as "Winslow mayor," a narrow island-wide vote expanded the city boundaries and its name, and in February 1991 Granato became "Bainbridge Island mayor." No one else has ever been both.

An Evening with Eli Young Band

ELI YOUNG BAND has always been unique in modern Country music – a true band of brothers who play their own instruments, write their own songs and cling fast to their Texas roots. With LOVE TALKING out now via The Valory Music Co., they embrace what makes them different once and for all.
Overall, lead singer Mike Eli found himself writing more than 150 songs in the time since the GRAMMY-nominated band released THIS IS ELI YOUNG BAND: GREATEST HITS in 2019. On LOVE TALKING, he joins forces with Nashville stalwarts Jimmy Robbins, Laura Veltz, Josh Osborne, Jon Nite and more. Also finding a home on the album is the sentimental “Lucky For Me” and tongue-in-cheek “Break Up In A Bar.”
The trailblazing group has come a long way since with a dynamic career thus far producing Billboard's No. 1 Country Song of the Year and ACM Award for Song of the Year with “Crazy Girl,” plus racking up over 2 billion streams to earn Pandora Billionaire status. Multiple CMA, CMT, ACA and Teen Choice Award nominations along with over 3 billion streams of their career catalogue offer an undeniable of EYB’s unique connection with fans. Even through sonic evolutions and changes to the Country industry, their obsessive following has continued to grow.

The three Magrath sisters are back together for the first time in a decade. Lenny is the caretaker of the sisters’ cantankerous Old Granddaddy.

Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart.”
Content Advisory: Contains adult language, references to attempted suicide, and verbal descriptions of domestic violence.
