It s not just businesses and citizens who ve noticed, nor just local county and health officials. Now legislators are demanding Gov. Inslee re-examine and change his Healthy Washington Re-Open plan. A group of GOP Senators and Legislators from virtually every legislative District in Eastern and Central WA have sent a letter to the Governor, demanding changes.
Healthy Washington-A Roadmap to Recovery is the fancy title for a rehashed version of his failed Safe Start Plan; except this time the state is lumped into 8 regions. And that s what has legislators furious.
Rep. Tom Dent, (R) who serves Moses Lake-Grant County, and the other 39 Senators and House Reps, say counties such as Kittitas (Ellensburg), Garfield (Pomeroy), Columbia (Dayton) and othes are being unfairly punished and held down because they re dependend upon the numbers and criteria from larger counties in their region.
