AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Long-Term Care Push: 17 Senate Democrats, led by Ron Wyden, say they’ll build a long-term services and supports plan focused on home-based care, support for family caregivers, and better nursing homes—an effort meant to restart a stalled national debate. Health Costs in Motion: Washington ACA enrollment keeps sliding after enhanced federal premium subsidies expired, with about 250,000 signing up this year—down 13%—raising fears of more uninsured residents and higher insurer pressure. Public Safety Funding: Chelan County says the Columbia River Drug Task Force will keep operating after temporary funding through its opioid abatement program replaces a ended state grant. Tribal Land Rules: Spokane Tribal Business Council passed a fireworks ban on Spokane Tribal Land, citing drought and safety, with penalties for both tribal and non-tribal violators. Local Infrastructure: Cantwell announced $6M for Spokane airport terminal upgrades and $350K for Pullman/Moscow airport rehab. Business & Politics: Former Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is now CEO of Filium, a sustainable textile startup—another reminder of how Olympia-to-industry career paths keep reshaping the state’s power map.
