Week 5: Let’s preview

A short preview of next week: Here‘s the schedule.  As you can see, there are a lot of blank agendas. And, since today was the policy cutoff — all non-budget bills coming from the Senate and the House must have cleared their committees by the end of the day — floor action and budget committees will be in the spotlight next week.

- On Monday at 1:15 p.m., executive session on the bill to allow you to get out of a traffic camera ticket and limit the amount you can be charged.

- Gov. Chris Gregoire is holding a press conference on Monday at 10 a.m. to “discuss her continued efforts to spur job creation in Washington state.” She’ll be joined by community bank leaders.

- Thursday at 8 a.m, the House Agriculture Committee will consider ideas to streamline natural resources. Public input is welcome.

- The rest of the week, we’ll show daily floor sessions and live committee hearings throughout the day.
