Join us for our annual “Sine Die” episode as we sit down with Representative Lisa Parshley, a freshman legislator for the 22nd Legislative District and former Olympia City Council member, to discuss her whirlwind first legislative session. Rep. Parshley shares her insights on the transition from local to state government, the challenges and successes of passing four bills, and the intense debates surrounding progressive taxation and the 1% property tax cap. We also delve into the significant capital project funding secured for Olympia, including investments in affordable housing, the Children’s Museum, and animal services, along with the pushback against proposed cuts to state worker collective bargaining agreements.
