AWB Wants Puget Sound Partnership to Stay the Course

AWB vice president of government affairs Gary Chandler recently wrote David Dicks and William Ruckelshaus expressing concern with legislative efforts to modify the powers and duties of the Puget Sound Partnership. Dicks and Ruckelshaus are, respectively, the executive director and Leadership Council chair of the Partnership.

... AWB supported ESSB 5372, ... which created the partnership [and] advocated for a collaborative, non-regulatory process for meeting the Governor's goal of cleaning up the Puget Sound by 2020. ... AWB opposed the Partnership having regulatory authority and worked hard with the Governor's office, legislators and other stakeholders to ensure the Partnership did not have such authority.

Chandler expresses specific concerns with legislation (cited in the letter ) that would grant regulatory authority to the Partnership and expand its agenda. And he asks the Partnership to oppose publicly any legislation that threatens to extend or modify the Partnership's already ambitious agenda.
