There are 32 days remaining in Washington’s legislative session, and lawmakers in Olympia are getting down to the key work revolving around budgets in the face of a large deficit.  Among the funding decisions in the House Transportation Committee will involve the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge.  17th District Representative David Stuebe is on that committee, and he remains optimistic the funding will be approved, especially with the amount of federal funding at stake.  Stuebe says the Hood River Bridge plus the Interstate 5 bridge between Vancouver and Portland and the Slough Bridge on Highway 14 west of Camas are vital to the economy of the 17th District, and all need to be funded.
