The EBB: Power(Points) to the People

Whether you’re tracking a certain bill, or like to follow your favorite legislative committee, a great resource is the Electronic Bill Book. Also referred to as Committee Meeting Documents, it’s where committee staff store most documents used during work sessions, bill hearings, and executive sessions.

Experts on issues, agency staff working to implement programs, and others present on everything from an overview of the Department of Corrections, to the Quality Education Council’s 2011 Legislative Report.

For another example, a lot of people are interested in Gov. Gregoire’s big education proposal. Rep. Larry Seaquist held a work session today on higher education governance, and their first guest was one of the governor’s staff to explain the proposal. You can view their presentation by going to today’s meeting documents (here’s a shortcut for that too).
