Mosbrucker Disappointed By Inslee Veto

Washington State 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker says she is “extremely disappointed” that Gov. Jay Inslee has vetoed House Bill 1623 in its entirety, despite the measure gaining unanimous approval by 147 lawmakers in committees and in both chambers of the state Legislature. Mosbrucker’s bill sought to ensure the state continually addresses plans to help avoid energy blackouts, brownouts or other inadequacies of the electric grid.  The governor vetoed the legislation last week.  Mosbrucker says it was frustrating that despite the bipartisan support of the bill in the Legislature, the governor gave no indication at any point during the process that he would veto it, adding she did not receive notification from the governor’s office afterward that he vetoed the bill.  The Republican lawmaker said she will continue to address the issue, and hopes to work with the governor’s office to make the case such legislation is needed.
