Rep. Cary Condotta and Rep. Brad Hawkins, both Republicans from East Wenatchee, appeared on KOHO to talk about legislative issues.  Hawkins shared that an amendment has been added to his fireworks bill, but that the intent remains the same:  local jurisdictions would be able to implement temporary restrictions on fireworks in times of extreme fire danger or when the governor has declared a state of emergency.  Said Hawkins of his legislation, “It has been an interesting journey.”

Rep. Condotta was asked to address the issues surrounding pot production in Chelan County.  There have been complaints from the public about local production.  Condotta said he believes local Commissioners have the tools available disposal to handle the matter.  He also discussed a number of public hearings he has attended.
