> I received word earlier today that HB-2033 was amended during executive
session in the House State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee today to
exclude the State Library (including the Washington Talking Book and Braille
Library) and the Oral History Project from entities that would be moved to
the proposed new Heritage, Culture and the Arts Department. We've won a
provisional victory. The bill still includes the fund transfer from the
office of the Secretary of State to the new department but we stand a good
chance of stopping this in the Senate.
> 
> While we shouldn't yet celebrate, we may sigh with satisfaction. Thanks to
all those who wrote letters and made phone calls to their legislators
letting them know what a dumb idea it is to move the State Library and WTBBL
from the purview of the Secretary of State.
