We have just been alerted that a hearing in the House Ways & Means Committee has been scheduled for TOMORROW at 10:00 a.m. Washington Filmworks (WF) Board members Becky Bogard and Greg Smith, along with Executive Director Amy Lillard, will testify in support of the legislation. We encourage members of the film industry to attend the hearing tomorrow in Olympia.  Because time is limited on the agenda, proponents will not be able to testify, but may sign in to support the legislation.  The following are the relevant details for the hearing:

If your Representative sits on the Ways & Means Committee, ask them to pass SB 5539 out of committee with no additional amendments.  We have provided a list of those members and their legislative districts below.

This is great news and a critical step in our renewal campaign. Please consider joining us in Olympia tomorrow, and contact your Representatives TONIGHT.
