Welcome to Spokane Alliance
Washington State Infrastructure Jobs Bond Bill
Spokane Alliance supports the Washington State Infrastructure Jobs Bond Bill coming from Olympia. This bill has the potential to create 40,000 jobs state-wide, it would not add to the state debt and it could generate roughly $100 million in taxes over the next three years. One of the capitol projects that is likely to be funded through this bill is completing the medical school here in Spokane. We see this jobs package as a clear proactive way to address the joblessness and bring back hope to our city.
Spokane Alliance had a great trip to Olympia on January 25th with 13 leaders attending. We will have more information posted (and pictures) regarding this trip in the near future!
We are holding another phone banking on Wednesday, February 8th to contact members from your institutions and encourage our legislators to support this bill. The phone banking will be held at UFCW Local 1439 - 1719 N Atlantic from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Please call the office at 532-1688 or email us at info@spokanealliance.org. to RSVP for the phone banking. We are also attaching a sample script and email letter that you can send to your legislator to ask for support.
