Legislative Update: Is Your WWRP Project At Risk?

An amendment approved Monday in Senate Ways & Means represents a very good “win” for the WA Recreation & Park Association, the Washington Wildlife & Recreation Coalition, the Nature Conservancy, the Trust For Public Lands, and others who spoke out against the initial Senate package.

This moves the Senate very close to the House position.  Essentially, this takes the WWRP cuts down to $10.1 million to match up with the House – these are re-appropriations that are not under any kind of contract.  The amendment also gives the RCO authority to move account allocations around and it directs a study of major delays/re-appropriations, with a report back and recommendations by 10/1/10.
