non medical work and emergency rooms at four and to set up testing sites at the other four Inslee again reminded hospitals that there are another 125 contract workers they could hire tomorrow if they want And since they've asked the guard for taxpayers to pay for that we are really hopeful that the hospitals can step up the plate and use that contract to its maximum And we probably will be asking for additional contracting authority Governor inslee also promised more help to speed up assessments and the guardianship process for people ready to move out of hospitals to long-term care with hundreds of them waiting He also says even after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling blocking the Biden administration's large employer vaccine mandate there are no plans for the state to have large companies require their workers to get vaccinated Ryan Harris communists our state's hospital administrators say they're working under crisis staffing plans and that includes pausing all non urgent

this decision is a victory This went a little too far and it would have really hurt attracting retaining and keeping employees at a retail establishment So we're pleased with the decision But some business owners like the ones at portage bay believe the healthier staff can be the better it is for business and staying open In fact pay instituted their own vaccine mandate asking employees to either get vaccinated or tested and they plan on keeping it We are definitely disappointed We believe firmly that the more people who are vaccinated the faster.
