“Is the bill dead or alive?” asked Brandi Kruse on KIRO Newsradio.
“It’s been a frustrating process. Let’s leave it at that,” replied Mullet. “I think the Governor has put a lot of political capital into trying to keep any bills that would limit his emergency power authority from gaining traction during the legislative session. Not just this one, the same in the previous sessions as well. And it appears we’ve had a similar dynamic work. I think there’s been pressure to not even hear the bill. So it’s frustrating.”
Senate Bill 5063 addresses the controversy around Gov. Jay Inslee and the extended stay his emergency powers had once they were declared.
