Public Disclosure
MEMORANDUM REGARDING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

FROM: Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raised concerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This session is no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the following statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters: At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the Public Disclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee to report contact with legislators. A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her own legislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a constituent and/or citizen is not obligated to report that contact. The only obligation an employee has to report contact with individual legislators may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an official matter where the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employing agency and on official agency matters, or where a legislator contacts an employee under the same circumstances. Where an employee has contact with legislators under these circumstances the employee should check with his/her supervisor on any reporting requirements. It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employed by the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators or other legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/ her concerns, comments or opinions on legislative matters. We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on your own time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be from your personal phone. E-mails should be from home computers. I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional information, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-562-6002.

THE BUDGET No denying it: At least $10 billion has been cut from the state budget
A policy brief from the Washington State Budget & Policy Center Dec. 9, 2011
Introduction
State budget cuts have taken an enormous toll on Washington states core public health, education, and community safety structures. Basic public services have been cut by at least $10 billion since the start of the Great Recession. These budget cuts have taken a grizzly toll on the health and well-being of workers and families from Aberdeen to Spokane. Yet, some have suggested that the impact of budget cuts has been greatly exaggerated. Nothing could be further from the truth. Heres why: The human toll of budget cuts is undeni ble: a Over 70,000 low-income working adults have lost health care coverage, over 20,000 children and families have lost assistance to get and keep a job, and the cost to attend college has almost doubled since 2007 at four-year institutions due to increases in tuition.
The human toll of budget cuts is undeniable
In reality, public structures have weath red e more than $10 billion in budget cuts: Round after round of cuts from an ever-decreasing baseline has hidden the true magnitude of the cuts enacted since the start of the recession.
Page 5
Those who argue that budget cuts have been exaggerated ignore the very real impact that these cuts have had on communities throughout our state: The number of kids in K-12 increased by 12,135 between 2008 and 2010, but the number of teachers in classrooms shrunk by nearly 3,000. Over 20,000 eligible students were unable to receive financial aid in 2010 due to insufficient state resources.

Box 1: The maintenance budget

The maintenance level refers to the cost of maintaining the same level of services from one fiscal year to the next, accounting for factors such as general price inflation, increases in the population, and increases in the number of people qualifying for support. The maintenance level is recalculated each year to account for changes in the state law enacted the previous year and for increases or decreases in caseloads. Because it is recalculated annually, it is unknown how much it would cost to provide prerecession levels of services in the current year.
Every area of state investment has been affected by cuts (Figure 1). The majority of cuts have fallen on our education and health care systems. Cuts to education have reduced the quality of our childrens education and the ability of workers to obtain the skills they need for the jobs of tomorrow. Health care cuts have left thousands of Washingtonians without medical care.
In reality, public structures have weathered more than $10 billion in budget cuts
Claims about higher state revenues fall apart when placed in context
Some have argued the budget cuts reported to date are mere accounting tricks that actual service reductions have been much lower. In fact, the opposite is true. Budget cuts are significantly undercounted in our state budget process. Thats because every year that reductions are made, the current service baseline, or maintenance level, is reduced (see Box 1). The maintenance level has The decline in state revenues is even more dramatic once elements of inflation, such as been diminished with multiple rounds of budget rising energy prices which make it more reductions.

State tax revenues are far below pre-recession levels. Before adjustment for inflation, Figure 3 shows that by 2010, the deepest part of the recession, state revenues had fallen to $1.9 billion (12.3 percent) below 2007 levels. Revenues are presently $820 million (5.3 percent) below the pre-recession mark, and arent projected to approach 2007 levels until 2014 (Figure 3).

THE BUDGET
below pre-recession levels, and arent projected to recover within the foreseeable future, based on estimates from the states Economic and Revenue Forecast Council. Resources are low, but the need for public services is high children, older adults, people with disabilities, and students. Another all cuts budget would be indefensible. Therefore, it is vital that new revenue be included as part of a balanced solution to our economic problems. In the short run, we can raise additional resources to preserve our essential health and education structures by ending unjustified tax breaks and modestly increasing the sales tax. An increase in the sales tax should be paired with the Working Families Tax Rebate to significantly reduce costs for lower-income working families with children.
The cost of providing consistent levels of services rises each year due to inflation, demographic changes such as the aging of our state population, and other factors. In addition to these ordinary cost pressures, the Great Recession and the mass layoffs that have come with it has greatly increased the need for state-supported health care, educational opportunities, and other essential services among Washingtonians.
A good example is Washingtons Apple Health for Kids program, which has proven to be a crucial backstop for families throughout the recession. Figure 4 shows that while thousands of children in Washington have lost their parents employerprovided health coverage since the start of the recession, Apple Health and other public insurance programs have helped to fill the gap. As the graph shows, about 165,000 children in Washington lost employer-sponsored insurance from 200607 through 2009-10. During the same period, the number of children enrolled in state-supported health programs grew by about 208,000 (Figure 4). Accordingly, the costs of maintaining Apple Health have risen sig ificantly in the last few years. n
In the long run, a small excise tax on some capital gains would go a long way toward improving the ade uacy and equity of our flawed revenue q No denying it: At least $10 billion has been cut from the state b system.

MEMBER LOBBYING
Effective member lobbying starts with understanding how legislators work and think.
Legislators face unique pressures 1. Legislators simply do not have enough time to do everything they would like to do. 2. Legislators deal with thousands of bills; they cast votes on hundreds of bills; and they cant possibly know the details of each one. Legislators want to be helpful - its their nature Legislators want to serve their constituents, but there is a limit to what they can do. As member lobbyists we can help them by: Providing a specific and realistic request.
3. There are more than 1,000 registered lobbyists, Heeding their advice on ways that will to promote our issues. and countless more citizen lobbyists - all vying for a Legislators time, attention and vote. Following up with them and keeping them in the loop. 4. Legislators are accountable to thousands of constituents back home. Legislators are forced to prioritize and specialize
You can expect legislators to: Listen. Offer advice. Be candid. Provide insight.
1. Legislators only have time to really dig into a few issues, so they tend to specialize.
2. On their issues they hope their colleagues will follow their lead and, in turn, they follow the lead of members they trust that specialize in other issues.
Keep you posted, if you ask.
3. Its hard for a legislator to go against the specialist from his or her own caucus. Legislators face demands from their leadership You cant expect legislators to: Communicate all the time. Remember all the details. Make you their highest priority.
1. The leadership of the majority caucus controls the calendar and agenda. 2. Individual legislators cant overcome leadership decisions.
Be able to give you more than 15 minutes. Read a document or report.
3. The hardest thing for a new legislator to adjust to is that they really dont have a lot of say in what happens.

COMMUNICATIONS
Tips for effective communication:

Legislators are literally bombarded with questions and requests from interest groups of every kind. The way you communicate with legislators makes a big difference on whether they remember your ask or, more importantly, decide to help you with it. Cultivate a relationship with your Legislators before the Big Crisis hits. Legislators rely on constituent information to guide their judgment. If they dont hear from you, that leaves lobbyists, their staff and your opponents to educate them. Here are some DOS and DONTS that will help you increase your chances for support.
Do . . .
let us help you schedule a meeting with your Representative or Senator. write a letter to your Legislator. send an e-mail to your Legislator use the Legislative Hotline to communicate your concerns. (800-562-6000) encourage, empower and educate your co-worker on the facts and importance of the issue and their ability to help. your homework! provide a succinct, factual message. be prepared to answer questions. be patient and listen when having an in-person visit. be prepared to talk about who might oppose your ask and why. calculate how it can help the Legislator to help you.
Dont . . .
rely solely on petitions, pre-fabricated post cards, form letters and rallies.
These tools have narrow strategies and if not used correctly, can have the opposite effect you are after. If you want them to remember, give them information that is succinct, well organized and on topic.
get off the point.
forget you only have a short time during a personal visit, usually less than 15 minutes. get indignant if you are asked to reschedule or wait. Their schedules are fluid and rescheduling is not uncommon. assume that yours is the only point of view. Legislators have to answer to many constituents. Use this opportunity to educate them.

MESSAGING
OUR GENERAL MESSAGE:
Your letter or blog posting depends on what you are responding to. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: To respond to an editorial, column or another letter to the editoror to initiate a discussionwrite a letter to the editor to your local newspaper. Each newspaper has a box on its editorial page explaining how to submit letters to the editor, how long and where to send or e-mail them. Typically, length must be no more than 200 to 250 words. For instance, The Olympian and the Tacoma News Tribune have a 250-word limit, while the Seattle Times, the Spokane Spokesman-Review and the Bellingham Herald limit letters to 200 words. You usually can also respond online. In all cases, be prepared to list your name and contact information. Newspapers do not publish anonymous letters. To find your local newspaper online, follow this link to Yahoos Newspaper Directory. NEWSPAPERS: http://dir.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Newspapers/By_ Region/U_S__States/Washington/Cities/ It will bring up a city-by-city listing. ELECTRONIC MEDIA: TV and radio still play a key role in disseminating the news, especially spin offs to their websites and blogs. To submit blog comments, here are links to Yahoos TV and radio directories that will then lead you to your local TV or radio station. Or simply type in the stations call letters in Google, Yahoo, Bing or your favorite online search engine. TV: http://dir.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Television/By_ Region/U_S__States/Washington/Complete_List/ Radio: http://dir.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Radio/By_Region/ U_S__States/Washington/Cities/
But the general message is to support revenue alternatives to avoid an all-cuts budget. We need revenue to save public safety, public services, health care and higher education.
We also need to build support for the services state employees provide. Many important programs are targeted for elimination of downsizing, including: the Basic Health Plan provided by Health Care Authority members; the Disability Lifeline provided by DSHS members; in Juvenile Rehabilitation, parole services; in Developmental Disabilities, Rainier School; Community Corrections community supervision; in Mental Health, additional wards; Medical Interpreters; Higher Education funding; among many others.
Messaging does work and changes the tune of the media.

As the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin editorialized last year these public servants have become the new whipping boy. But theyre not the enemy. They perform vital services that we have decided we need and want. They live in our neighborhoods, shop in our stores and volunteer for projects that meet community needs.(Theyre not) immune from the pain the rest of us are feeling.There have been layoffs (which turn a service provider into a collector of unemployment and welfare benefits). There have been furloughs, salary reductions and benefit cuts. Government employees havent escaped the fallout of the recession. Letters to editors should be factual, be respectful to the audience (its not their fault an editorial writer or talk show host got it wrong), and speak from the heart. To most in the media, state employees and union members are nameless, faceless entities and therefore are easy to target. If you write a letter or post a blog comment that talks about your everyday human struggles as a parent or member of the community, legislators will have a harder time sticking it to you.

How a Bill Becomes a Law

A bill may be introduced in either the Senate or House of Representatives. A committee studies the bill and often holds public hearings on it. A committee report is read in open session of the House or Senate,and the bill is then referred to the Rules RULES Committee.

After passing one house,the bill goes through the same procedure in the other house. The Governor signs the bill into law or may veto all or part of it. If the Governor fails to act on the bill,it may become law without a signature.
If amendments are made in one house,the other house must concur.
When the bill is accepted in both houses,it is signed by the respective leaders and sent to the Governor.
