If it doesn't work…

…fix it. That's the plan from my own personal State Senator...

Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Shoreline, introduced Senate Bills 5922 and 5923 which will provide oversight of tax expenditures through audits. If it is learned that the tax subsidy no longer serves its purpose or the entity hasn’t live up to its end of the bargain, the state will be able to recoup money through a so called “clawback” provision.

I hope my neighbors in the 32nd are as grateful for Maralyn's efforts on our behalf as I'm sure folks all across Washington are grateful for the choice we made last year. Kudos, too, to State Rep. Bob Hasegawa, who's carrying the bill on the House side.
