OLYMPIA — The state Senate has passed a resolution affirming that they really, really like the Boeiing Co.

Even though it moved its headquarters to Chicago and plans to open an assembly line for its new jetliner in South Carolina, the state appreciates all the aerospace giant has done for Washington, the Senate says in Senate Resolution 8676, with a wide array of bipartisan cosponsors that was passed passed this morning. The resolution may smooth over some talk earlier in the session that if Boeing is going to keep  moving stuff out of the state, the Legislature should start looking at all those tax breaks it has been given over the years.

The Senate also expanded the classifications of people who can authorize medical marijuana. Along with physicians, SB 5798 would allow nurse practitioners and naturopaths to authorize marijuana if it would help their patients. It passed 37-11.

Today is the day that Senate bills dealing with policy must get out of their committee or die.

A complete list of committee hearings is inside the blog.
