Here at Fuse we have very little patience for corruption, abuse, and incompetence, as you may have already noticed. Fuse has been working hard to support Senate Bill 6035. The bill closes a gaping loophole that allows conservative business associations to divert millions of dollars from a public worker's compensation program to fund political campaigns and negative attack ads.

Making matters worse, the State mistakenly overpaid these trade associations by as much as $200 million over the last 15 years. And now there is compelling evidence that suggests the State's biggest conservative bully, the Building Industry Association of Washington, is illegally skimming funds owed to its members under the program.

We think this program is long overdue for some serious reform. But before we allocate our organizing resources for the last month of the legislative session, we wanted to check and see if this issue is important to you as well.

Can you please let us know if you think this should be a priority?

Conservative business associations are pulling out all the stops to defeat the reform bill.

But if we decide to tackle this together, we can ensure that legislators are listening to the public when they decide how to vote rather than corporate lobbyists.

Thanks for weighing in on this one.
