Senior Issues in Washington

  While the NARFE focus is typically on national legislative and governmental issues affecting current employees, retirees and annuitants, there are frequently actions contemplated or taken at the state level that may also impact us.  For this reason, the Washington Federation of Chapters also maintains a state legislative officer, Al Driemeier, who keeps us posted.

  One of the initial steps taken at the start of the 2010 short legislative session has been for the Governor to propose a modified budget.  The outlines are included in two documents, a letter from Kathy Leitch, Assistant Secretary ADSA on the Governor's 2010 "Book 2" Supplemental Budget Proposal and a letter on the Restoration to the Governor's 2010 Supplemental Budget, below.
