Today's topic is the expanded state environmental regulations that, due to their arbitrary and excessive nature, threaten to send good-paying jobs - many of them union jobs - out of Washington state. We briefly discuss our recent Special Report on this topic ("The Expanded SEPA Has Reduced Regulatory Certainty in Washington"), then talk with Larry Brown, Legislative & Political Director of Aerospace Machinists Union District Lodge 751, about how the state's actions are negatively affecting union jobs.
