…my own personal first-term Representative is making her mark. Via Of Paramount Importance...

OLYMPIA—State Rep. Cindy Ryu reached a major milestone today in her effort to save Washington’s Mortgage Lending Fraud Prosecution Account.

The House of Representatives voted 97-0 for Ryu’s proposal to cancel the scheduled July termination of the fraud-fighting account and extend its life to the end of June, 2016.

While I'm generally in favor of sunset provisions that keep legislation from outliving it's usefulness, sometimes a good idea remains good, and sometimes it might get even better, with the passage of time. Spotting and saving the good ones is something we count on our legislators for, and Cindy's proving we can count on her.
