On The Impact tonight: Sam Reed on R71 signatures, the Howard Hanson dam and more

On The Impact tonight: A battle over releasing initiative and referendum petitions catches the attention of the nation’s highest court. Petitions of Referendum 71, which puts Washington’s domestic partnership law to a vote, were requested by several groups earlier this year. But R71 signers want their names kept private. Tonight, The Impact talks to Secretary of State Sam Reed, who says the documents should be released.

Also on the show: The weakened Howard Hanson Dam is putting residents in the Green River Valley at an increased flood risk. Jennifer Huntley goes to the dam to talk to the Army Corps of Engineers about how they’ll address the problem.

And: The state has issued a warning about lethal toxin levels in some shellfish. Find out which harvesting areas are off limits here.
