A Political FYI....

Joel Kretz, one of the members of the State House from the 7th Legislative District (everything north of Medical Lake, stretching all the way up to the Canadian border) was recently elected the Deputy Minority Leader for the House Republican Caucus. I met with Rep. Kretz on a couple of different occasions when I went back to Olympia last year; he's a good listener when it comes to education issues, and as a member of the House Appropriations Committee he's also in an important position when it comes to the discussion on education funding.

Given that a good part of the Medical Lake SD lies within the 7th Legislative District, I'm optimistic that he'll continue to listen to us in his new position.
