Agriculture bills filed for WA legislative session

OLYMPIA — Another new year, another legislative session in Olympia. The session began Jan. 8, and state lawmakers are hard at work. Some bills pass through fairly smoothly, said Rep. Tom Dent, R-Moses Lake, and some take years of a modification here and a concession there before they become law – if they ever do. “Many of the bills that we run or ideas that we have, you know, they’re sometimes simple, easy bills that will move really fast,” Dent said. “And then the more complex ones, they’re more of a heavy lift. Those are the ones that you work on every year. They don’t pass, but you gain some knowledge; you maybe make some amendments, and begin to develop the support that you need from the stakeholders and in the legislature.”

Mary Souza challenged Moon for the chairmanship in hopes of bringing more moderation to the party but failed on a vote of 376-228. A tremendous effort had been made by reasonable Republicans to win a majority of precinct committee positions in this year’s closed GOP primary. The objective was to vote the extremists out and change the direction of the party. Despite creditable success in some areas of the state, the reformers did not get their majority. They will in the next election, if they keep at it.

‘Ireland’s Greatest Showman’

David Shannon to perform in Moses Lake Sunday

MOSES LAKE — The Wallenstien Theater will ring this weekend with the voice of Irish tenor David Shannon. The concert will start at 7 p.m. Sunday evening. Sometimes billed as “Ireland’s Greatest Showman,” Shannon has a long and varied list of credits under his belt. He’s performed leading roles in productions of “Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables” and “Sweeney Todd” in London’s prestigious West End theaters, according to his biography, and he was an original cast member of the London Company production of “Come From Away.” Shannon is equally at home with traditional folk music, and laces his performance with songs accompanied by the fiddle and the bodhran, a handheld drum that’s a staple of Irish tradition.
