THIS EPISODE OF THE NORTHWEST POLITICAST: House Bill 2144 is getting some traction in Olympia. If it becomes law, Washington will establish a 10-cent per bottle deposit/refund program to encourage recycling in Washington. But that’s not the only legislation Democrats are pushing that deals with the state’s solid waste system.

PLUS: Conservatives are notching success after success with initiatives… without Tim Eyman.

AND: Election deniers win an election and curiously don’t object to the results.

Guests include Paul Queary of the Washington Observer, ABC’s Andy Field, and legal analyst Royal Oakes.

The Northwest Politicast with Jeff Pohjola: From this Washington to that one, Jeff Pohjola will explore the issues and politics of the week. Frequent guests and top analysts break down the news to get to the heart of what matters most.
