Question for Representative Ericksen: If this bill is not adopted -- how do you propose we pay for cleaning up Puget Sound?
Or, is this a way of telling us that, with more than 40 Puget Sound species at risk, shellfish beds shut down, and beaches closed off to swimmers, that inaction is an option?
Erickson email release below:
Ericksen to hold tele-town hall meeting to fight proposed $1 billion tax increase on Whatcom County oil refineries Public can call in to community conversation on Wednesday, Dec.
Rep. Doug Ericksen is inviting constituents of the 42nd Legislative District to participate in his tele-town hall meeting Wednesday, Dec. 2. The topic will be the proposal in the Washington State Legislature for a $1 billion tax increase on Whatcom County oil refineries.
Participants can call in from the comfort of their own homes by calling 1-877-229-8493 and entering PIN number 15368. The community conversation begins at 7:00 p.m. and will last an hour.
"In the final hours of the 2009 Legislative Session, a massive tax increase targeted at Whatcom County’s manufacturing job base was passed by the House of Representatives. Fortunately, this job killing tax increase was blocked in the State Senate. This community conversation is an opportunity to explain why I am against this proposal and hear directly from those I represent," said Ericksen, R-Ferndale. "We cannot allow our oil refineries to be pushed out of our state like Boeing. I look forward to sharing the ideas I have to improve our economy and to preserve and eventually create jobs."
Ericksen is inviting people to go to his Web site beforehand to view a brief presentation on the Whatcom County refineries issue. http://www.houserepublicans.wa.gov/Ericksen/
Constituents who have questions or need assistance can contact Ericksen at ericksen.doug@leg.wa.gov or (360) 786-7980.
The 2010 legislative session begins Jan. 11 and is scheduled to last 60 days.
