Senator Urges Shopping Elsewhere for New Ferries
By Steven Gardner Friday, April 4, 2008
Port Townsend-Keystone ferry riders could get a better boat if the Legislature would meet for a day and change state law, according to one state senator.
The idea has so far been met with silence from the governor's office, and at least one local legislator thinks it's a bad idea.
State Sen. Cheryl Pflug, R-Maple Valley, a member of the Senate Transportation Committee, said Washington legislators could save the state money by removing a requirement that ferries be built in state. The Legislature passed a bill, Senate Bill 6794, in February that calls for construction of new ferries to replace the Steel-Electric boats the state Department of Transportation pulled out of service during the fall.
The legislation specifically requires the boats be built in Washington. The bill passed 40-8 in the Senate and 80-17 in the House.

That's why I submitted a new plan to solve Puget Sound's largest transportation problems once and for all -- within budget and without tolls. How? By changing what's in the roads and transit package put before Puget Sound-area voters in November.

Funding found to maintain Issaquah hatchery operations
Seattle Times - 3/16/2004
ISSAQUAH - The Issaquah salmon hatchery has funding through June 2005, thanks to action by the Legislature and a scramble for dollars from the state Department of Fish & Wildlife.
Suttle credited state Sen. Cheryl Pflug, R-Maple Valley, for restoring the hatchery's funding in the state's supplemental budget. Both she and Pflug said hatchery supporters are starting to talk about finding more reliable funding for hatchery operations.
