With ballots heading out across Mason County, lawmakers from Washington’s 35th Legislative District join KMAS for a timely conversation on education funding, school levies, and public safety priorities during the current legislative session. Representatives Travis Couture and Dan Griffey discuss why school districts are facing financial strain despite record K-12 spending, how levy equalization changes have impacted rural communities, and what challenges districts like Shelton are navigating right now.
The conversation also covers ongoing bipartisan efforts to reform the sexually violent predator system, reduce toxicology lab backlogs that delay DUI prosecutions, and improve outcomes for victims while strengthening public safety statewide. This episode offers context and clarity on issues directly affecting families, schools, and communities across Mason County and the 35th District.
