Amazon is stopping construction on its second corporate headquarters near Washington, D.C., the tech giant is not only facing the possibility of a recession, but labor expert John Logan says a stand up with employees over remote working may be a factor.

The state would step up its efforts to plug holes in cybersecurity at state agencies under a bill that got a 49 to zero vote in the state Senate. Details for northwest news radio's Ryan Harris. A 2020 state audit of four unnamed agencies looked at their data backup and security plans and their ability to protect public data and their critical systems. Senate Bill 55 18s prime sponsor, Republican state senator Matt benke of Kennewick says these four anonymous agencies were recorded and none of them met requirements for data backup or disaster recovery to the standards that we were looking for. They had not performed sufficient testing to restore these data and actually rehearse the full operational status to get them back online. So his bill not only establishes a couple of committees to identify security gaps, but it provides the money to get agencies working with Washington technology solutions or wa tech on a unified security effort. It also gives the Department of Commerce more authority to make plans for improved physical and cybersecurity in the state's energy infrastructure. The bill is now headed to the state house.

"Who says ten years of Democrats policies has failed on critical issues. Such as affordability, public safety, housing, homelessness, and education. You can draw a straight line from the policies of the legislature and the governor to many of the problems we face today. Policies that have made life in Washington more expensive, left our communities more dangerous and failed to provide children with the education they deserve. Hey barno and his party repeated their call for tax relief like reducing sales tax and increasing tax credits for working families. Republicans want more police on the streets and more investment in education, and they say to truly increase the housing supply and bring prices down, the state should work with the private sector. Controversial advisory votes could soon be removed from election ballots. Northwest news radio's John libertini on the Senate committee poised to eliminate them. Advisory votes are anti tax messages dressed up to look like referendums. To instill distrust in government. It's more polling than voting, the outcome has no consequence. Senator patty cooter is co sponsor of a bill that would remove advisory votes from the election ballot. This bill repeals advisory votes and replaces them with access to accurate information about where the dollars truly go. Secretary of State Steve Hobbs is on the fence until a few changes are made, but he doesn't dispute the point. The voters guide. And the ballot should be about people running for office and referendums and initiatives. An estimated 40 advisory votes have appeared on election ballots in recent years at a cost of millions of dollars. There is no effect. You could have 90% of people vote nothing will happen. Andrew Villeneuve, northwest progressive institute. Disinformation creates a barrier to voting suppressing turnout. Washington is the only state that puts advisory votes on the ballot.

Swift action from the FAA over an Ethiopian report blaming Boeing and the 7 37 max for a deadly plane crash. Northwest news radio's John libertini reports. Ethiopian airlines flight three O two crashed shortly after takeoff in March of 2019, killing all 157 people on board. The Ethiopian report was less forthcoming than it should have been. But in a controversial report released last month, Ethiopian investigators blamed Boeing 7 37 max over pilot error. For the good of world aviation safety, you have to be honest and straightforward about who did what and what mistakes may have been made by the cockpit crew. The Incas navigation system has been widely criticized for throwing the 7 37 max into a sometimes deadly nosedive. The pilots were trapped into making errors. But Scott Hamilton and aviation consultant at Lim on bamberg island says transparency is critical. There has to be a complete and open discussion so that the aviation community across the globe understands precisely what happened so that it doesn't happen again. U.S.
