RE: Dosewallips Road
As you probably already know the Forest Service announced this morning that they are going to repair the Dosewallips Road to the National Park campgrounds.
This is great news for all of us who want access to this wonderful Park; especially the young, the elderly and the disabled who have been excluded since the wash out of the road. At present the only access from the west is by way of a trail so difficult so as to be available only to the most able and fit hikers. Our parks were never meant for the exclusive use of a small group. The opening of the road provides access to all citizens regardless of their age or disability.
The Jefferson County Commissioners are on record in support of rebuilding the road and have offered resources to help in its reconstruction.
I want to thank the Forest Service for its efforts and its sensitivity to the needs of our county and to the needs of those among us who with out the road would never be able to experience this wonderful natural treasure.
Pat Rodgers
Jefferson County Commissioner

Unique Website Gives Complete, Concise Washington Legislative Information
WashingtonVotes.org gives users instant access to concise, plain language and objective descriptions of every single bill, amendment, and vote that takes place in the Washington legislature. Unlike any other bill tracking utility, WashingtonVotes.org. is unique because all legislative actions are described - not just those selected by a particular interest group. It is searchable by legislator, keyword, and almost 100 subject categories, so users can create their own custom "voting record guide."
WashingtonVotes.org has all these features:
+ Concise, plain-language, objective and accurate descriptions of every bill, amendment, roll call vote and voice vote.
+ Ability to track all the votes of a particular legislator, or search by bill number, category or keyword.
+ Ability to view all the bills and amendments introduced by a particular legislator.
+ Ability to post a public comment, view others' comments, and participate in citizen surveys on each bill.
+ Automatically e-mail legislators or others about a bill.
+ Ability to follow action in any one or more of 50 different categories of legislation (such as Education or Land Use or Taxes).
+ Ability to sign up for e-mail notifications of action on any bill or subject area of interest, including new bill introductions.
WashingtonVotes.org is a free public service of Washington Policy Center, an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational organization. Its purpose is to inform citizens, community leaders, business people, media, and public officials about legislation that affects their families, schools, jobs and communities. The site empowers citizens to take a more active part in the legislative process, and hold their elected legislators accountable.
