You can let your 43rd District elected leaders know what you want for the 520 bridge replacement plan and more important issues like privatizing the state’s liquor sales at Saturday’s town hall just across the street in First Hill at lovely First Baptist Church.
43rd District legislators set to host Feb. 20 town hall
OLYMPIA – The 43rd District legislative delegation of House Speaker Frank Chopp, Sen. Ed Murray and Rep. Jamie Pedersen will host a local town hall meeting on Sat., Feb. 20 at the Seattle First Baptist Church from 1:30-3 p.m.
The three lawmakers will provide an update on the 2010 Legislative Session and take questions from constituents. The lawmakers expect a range of questions on issues before the Legislature, such as how to resolve the state’s budget crisis and the replacement of the SR 520 bridge.
The event is free and open to all constituents of the 43rd Legislative District, which includes Capitol Hill, University District, Madison Park, Washington Park, Broadmoor, Montlake, Wallingford, Madison Valley and parts of Fremont, Ravenna, Denny Regrade and downtown Seattle.
The 2010 Legislative Session began in January and will continue through mid-March.

Can someone ask Rep. Pedersen why he supports legalized land theft (aka adverse possession)? Many people supported House Bill 1479, which would have put an end to this repugnant and unnecessary law, but it appears that Pedersen is siding with the lawyers who want to keep legalized land theft alive. (My guess is the $30-50,000 attorneys’ fees per adverse possession lawsuit had something to do with Pedersen’s rejection of the bill.)
