This small insertion could be devastating for all Charter Coach Operators in Washington State! It is my opinion that certain entities in this state are using political influence to script exclusions in law to allow private business access to federally subsidized transportation at the expense of those attempting to make a living. Of course, if the government purchased vehicles for Gray Line, or offset fuel expenses then certainly GLS could compete fairly with Metro or Sound Transit for Charter Work.

   

You are strongly urged to contact the office of Senators Murray, Cantwell, and others to invite them to amend this bill and eliminate section 170.
