(SEE QUESTION SUGGESTIONS BELOW)


Find out how the issues of the day – the state budget, health care, education, the environment, transportation, and more – impact citizens and communities throughout Washington. Host Jennifer Huntley interviews and profiles the policy experts who make the decisions in Olympia and the people who are impacted back home.



The Impact airs:

Wednesdays at 7 & 10pm

Sundays at 5 & 9pm

The Impact is sponsored with generous support from Comcast and the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters.

SEND EMAILS TODAY ASKING:

WHY DID THE HOUSE BUDGET CUT $80 MILLION FROM COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE) AND ONLY CLOSES TWO SWIMMING POOLS IN STATE DD INSTITUTIONS?

WHY ARE THE CUTS IN DD COMMUNITY SERVICES AND STATE DD INSTITUTIONS NOT EQUITABLE?

WHY DID THEY NOT CLOSE AT LEAST ONE OF THE FIVE DD INSTITUTIONS AS THE GOVERNOR AND THE SENATE DID?

ADD OTHER BUDGET QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
