Sattgast: You won’t have to worry about everyone coming to your home tonight.

Johnson: “Since our district has quadrupled in size, it’s impossible to do town hall meetings in all the communities that we now serve. By doing telephone town hall meetings, it’s much easier for us to reach the citizens, and for the citizens in turn to reach us.”
Sattgast: Representative Charles Ross of Naches says after spending a month in Olympia, it’s time to get some real world perspective.
