Recently I learned that the Governor is planning on vetoing SB 5286, the WorkFirst Exemption bill. Please let your networks know so that we can get as many calls/emails to the Governor as possible asking her to SIGN THE BILL INTO LAW!
This bill allows new mothers receiving WorkFirst assistance to get an exemption from participating in welfare activities (like seeking work) for the first three months of their child's life. Otherwise, such non-participation would cause the individual to be "sanctioned" and potentially lose her state financial assistance at this critical time with her newborn child. Please contact Governor Gregoire TODAY and ask her to sign SB 5286!
Call 360-902-4111 or send an email on this webform.
