State Representative Marko Liias, 21st District, reported on the
Transportation revenue package passed out of the House that died in the State
Senate. He is Vice Chair of the House Transportation Committee. He noted the
significant work done by Snohomish County legislators in bringing a larger
package of Snohomish County projects to the table. He said hopefully we can get
it through the next session. It is something that will keep us competitive in
the efforts to win the 777X program. He also noted that in the 2014 election,
he will be seeking the State Senate seat in the 21st District, as
the current Senator, Paull Shin, will be retiring.
