Passing down the page jacket

As the League of Education Voters recently pointed out, serving as a page in the Legislature is a great learning and life experience.

Reuven Carlyle can attest to that. Serving as a page in the House was the beginning of Carlyle's run with state government. After serving as a page here, he went on to page in the other Washington for some memorable state figures -- Sens. Warren Magnuson and Henry Jackson. Carlyle is appealing to students to apply and get involved:

"Walking on the floor as the House debates important issues, like education funding and graduation requirements, is an experience pages won’t forget. These youth will become our next generation of leaders and lawmakers."
