I-960 hearing: Pretty short notice

OLYMPIA -- A critic of a proposal to suspend some aspects of Initiative 960 complained at the speed at which the bill got a hearing.

Jim Copeland of Spanaway, who said he lost his business, noted the bill was announced at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and in a hearing at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

"Pretty short notice, huh?" Copeland said.
