Local business owner urges council to support Washington universal‑health bills
Summary
Lehi Alemano, a Clinton resident and local business owner, urged council to support a package of six statewide universal‑healthcare bills and encouraged council members to contact their senator before an upcoming committee executive session; he offered materials and requested council voices of support.
During the public‑comment period, Lehi Alemano introduced himself as a local business owner from Clinton and urged the council to support six universal‑healthcare bills pending in the Washington State Legislature. He said two of the bills already had hearings in the Health and Long Term Care Committee and that those bills carried no fiscal note, asking council members to contact their senator ahead of an executive session the following morning.
"I'm speaking tonight about full Washington, universal health care bills currently in the state legislature," Alemano said, and offered to provide council members with information and contact numbers for the senator's office. He emphasized the utility of elected leaders adding voice to constituency contacts; no formal council action was taken on the request.
