The first of two legislative receptions to raise awareness of Columbia Gorge issues will take place Wednesday in Olympia.  Washington 14th District Representatives Gina McCabe and Norm Johnson and Senator Curtis King will be co-hosting the event with the OneGorge advocacy group, an informal organization of public agencies, organizations, and private businesses from the Gorge that collaboratively advocate for issues and priorities of the region.  White Salmon Mayor David Poucher says he and most of his City Council will attend, noting it is imperative to meet legislators from throughout the state and tell the region’s story to them.  A similar event is planned in at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem on March 7.
