A very busy MLK Jr. Day
I know it’s a holiday, but the Washington State Legislature works through MLK Jr. Day, so I do, too.
The day started early and didn’t really let up. Legislative items were on the agenda much of the day. I watched hearings on some bills about beaver management and also about diseased elk. That last topic sounds awful but it was tremendously interesting.
I dug through our online bill tracker and made sure it looked to be up to date.
Meanwhile, staff put together a draft agenda for the board meeting a week from today. We have a lot of prep work to do to make sure the board has all the information they need to make the best decisions.

I have been interested in the natural world since a very early age. My first career as a mining and exploration geologist took me around the world. In 1992, I began to focus on the conservation of natural resources. I enjoy sailing, working with WordPress and Linux, and amateur radio. It probably goes without saying that I also like to travel!
