"Is good news for skiers. In the center of the third zone, come on in. And currently, it's downright soggy up. It's raining and 47° in Seattle. Safe staffing level for nurses in our hospitals will come before Washington lawmakers again this session. This new bill moves rulemaking from the Department of Health to labor and industries which supporters say will give all sides a voice. Jane Hopkins president of the service employees international union healthcare local 1199, says they tried and failed to get this past last year. We were in crisis. Working through dangerously low staffing levels and widespread burnout. I'm here to tell you today that the state of healthcare staffing is worse today than it was a year ago. Washington's hospital have argued that there are already bleeding money with losses in the billions and that this should force them to cut care. They argue it's not just burnout but nurses leaving for higher paying traveling jobs that is driven the shortage. President Biden is making a trip to the southern border amidst the renew push for immigration reform. Northwest news radios Jeff pojo got the latest from ABC's Andy field. This seems like a victory for Republicans because immigration has become one of their top issues. What is the president going to be doing down there? Well, he says he's going to be talking to local officials to talking to the shelters to talking to agents to find out firsthand what are the issues? What do they need and what else he can do as president to give it to him. He clearly he doesn't need to go to the southern border to know these things. He can read the reports that he gets from his own people. He's talked to them. People have come to the United States. Many of these trips that Republicans have made have basically been political stunts and political events that haven't really gotten much done. And of course, the president continues to say that what he wants to do is to get Republicans to respond to his ideas on how to fix the border permanently to add more officers there to change the laws to make it tougher. And of course, he's done some of that on his own by telling some nationalities from Cuba and other points south that if you enter here illegally, we're just going to send you back home and that he is making provisions for some of these folks to come in legally, but they have to apply legally to do it. So in many ways, he's applying some of the methods that Donald Trump use right now after all this pressure and the criticism that his administration hasn't been doing enough. And so we'll be seeing some of these changes because even the president at this point is seeing that the facilities and the people at the border are being overwhelmed by this influx of migrants. All of this with the backdrop of the court fight over title 42. Yeah, that's going to the Supreme Court in February. It's really interesting that this fight really isn't at this point over whether they can keep title 42, which came into effect during World War II. And it was something that Donald Trump used basically to keep people who have infectious diseases out of the country and they used it during the pandemic to basically reject asylum seekers saying, sorry, you know, we would use them regular asylum laws except for the fact that there's a pandemic, so you're just going to have to stay in your own country. We're not letting you in. The Biden administration really is kind of been hands off of this. It was the CDC last spring that said we don't need it anymore. And then there were other operations saying, okay, well, we're suing the government and that's why we've had this hold of getting rid of it for so long. And of course, the Supreme Court said, well, now we're just going to rule on whether states actually have the jurisdiction to sue about this here. Not that title 42 is right or wrong. That's not what this case is about. It's about whether the states have the power to do it, so they've kind of kept it in their temporarily. But chief justice John Roberts in issuing the statement along with the rest of the court saying we're going to hear the arguments in February. He said there's nothing that President Biden can't do on his own if he just wants to end it by himself right now. President Biden hasn't done that, and they've been very cagey about this in the Biden administration saying, well, we're just going to follow the court orders until this thing plays itself out. And that's ABC's Andy field talking, which I pog. For more subscribe to the northwest politics, available wherever you get your podcasts. It's two 40 and the coogs are in basketball action today.

A new study from the ad council shows nearly half of all Americans say they suffer from a mental health condition and only half of those people are getting the help they need. It's partly due to a shortage of licensed counselors. The local healthcare apprentice consortium is looking to change that with a program that pays students while they learn to help get them their necessary certifications. Jane Hopkins, with the service employees international union, says that kind of support can be vital to students. The learning as you earn is so important because those are barriers that get in where people actually getting a good job. Doing feeling their families. Those apprentices can eventually go full-time once they are fully licensed by the state. Possible design elements of the future I 5 Columbia river bridge
