The County Connection | Mayhem and the Mid-Session Sprint – Episode 213
In this episode, Paul Jewell and Jamie Bodden break down the frenzy of mid‑session as fiscal cutoffs hit, floor action heats up, and dozens of bills race against the clock. They dive into key county‑impacting legislation, including the sprawling local government fiscal relief bill, public health tools, and early wins on certification and preventive‑services bills. The duo also shares a behind‑the‑scenes look at the chaos of simultaneous hearings—and the literal running it takes to cover both chambers. A fast, funny, inside‑Olympia episode perfect for anyone tracking session.
