If you live in Olympia, you are in Washington's 3rd Congressional District. Your congressional representative in Washington D.C. is Brian Baird. Rep. Baird has recently been involved with two issues that I thought you might like to know about. The first resolution would require that all bills be available online for the public to read prior to passage. The second would stop the leaking of financially significant information out of legislative committies to Wall St., where lobbyists make big bucks, kicking some back to their source in congress. Both these issues would help make government work better. Here's what the Olympian thinks about the 72 hr. Online Resolution.
