An opinion piece in the June 5 Reporter (“State Senate diverts money toward favored projects”) suggested that the proposed Senate capital budget prioritized local recreation over critical habitat preservation. The reality is more complex.
I am working with local citizens and stakeholders, such as those from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, to update language for the capital budget.
Our goal is to continue to support and prioritize the incredible range of existing projects in a way that better fits the realities of 2015.
Working together, I am confident we will maintain our local parks while still protecting irreplaceable natural areas.
– Sen. Karen Keiser, D-Kent, 33rd Legislative District
