Green Transit Bill for State Workers

Excerpt from the WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 Hotline below:

"The Federation-initiated bill to allow members to take advantage of a federal tax break for qualified parking and transit benefits (to promote commute trip reduction) was once again introduced in the Legislature Monday (Jan. 28). This is a Federation-initiated bill that passed the House in 2011 and 2012 but died in the Senate. It’s part of the Federation’s Green Caucus priority to reduce our carbon footprint."

Let's Show the Legislature how GREEN we are!

Join us for our Green Caucus
Lobby Day and Legislative Luncheon!

Come to Olympia with WFSE/AFSCME Council 28 Green Caucus members for a day of meetings and a lunchtime chat with legislators about our current issues. 

Date:  Tuesday, January 22nd

Time:  9 – 4 PM, including a special Legislative Luncheon from 12 – 1 PM

Sign Up: http://www.wfse.org/get-involved/legislative-member-lobbyists/

The Green Caucus has members from many state agencies, not just the agencies directly tasked with natural resources.  We are a diverse group of union members from around the state who self-identify as “environmentalists” or who are simply interested in green issues.  We work to promote sustainability within our union and our communities.  Join the conversation at www.facebook.com/greenc28, or leave a comment here on our blog.

If can come only for the Legislative Luncheon from 12 – 1 PM please contact Vanessa Butler at 360.352.7603.
