Monday, April 29, is the opening day of the Walla Walla County Democrats’ new office in Downtown Walla Walla. Located in the Die Brucke Building at 38 East Main Street, this office will be the center for our party’s many activities.

On March 26, Gov. Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5824 into law. This law redefines the rules of dissolving Rural Library Districts. Eilse Severe, chair of Neighbors United for Progress, attended the ceremony.

The Walla Union-Bulletin announced its selection of 39 community members “who are age 39 or younger and who work to support our community through leadership in business, health care, arts and culture, education, public service, nonprofits, and advocacy.”

The dust is flying at the Walla Walla Democrats new downtown office.

After agreeing to a Republican-suggested amendment, Senate Bill 5824, which involves lowering the number of signatures required on a petition to dissolve a library district, was passed yesterday with a 49-0 vote. The bill now moves to the House for consideration.

The amendment modifies the initial requirement in the bill from needing 35 percent of registered voters to 25 percent to put an initiative on the ballot. Current law requires only 10 percent.

Washington State Senate Bill 5824 passed out of the Senate Committee on State Government and Elections to the Senate Ways and Means Committee on January 12, 2024. This is a positive first step for a bill that will revise the statutes on the dissolution of Rural Library Districts that was found unconstitutional by the Columbia County Superior Court in Dayton last September.
