MEMORANDUM REGARDINGPUBLIC DISCLOSUREREQUIREMENTS
FROM: Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action
Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raisedconcerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This sessionis no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the fol-
lowing statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters:
At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the PublicDisclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee toreport contact with legislators.
A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her ownlegislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a con-stituent and/or citizen is not obligated to report that contact.
The only obligation an employee has to report contact with individual leg-islators may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an ofcial
matter where the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employingagency and on ofcial agency matters, or where a legislator contacts an
employee under the same circumstances. Where an employee has contactwith legislators under these circumstances the employee should check withhis/her supervisor on any reporting requirements.
It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employed
by the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators orother legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/
her concerns, comments or opinions on legislative matters.
We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on yourown time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be from
your personal phone. E-mails should be from home computers.
I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional informa-tion, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-562-6002.

ntroduction
State budget cuts have taken an enormous toll on
Washington state’s core public health, education,and community safety structures. Basic public
ervices have been cut by at least $10 billion
ince the start of the Great Recession. These
budget cuts have taken a grizzly toll on the health
and well-being of workers and families from
Aberdeen to Spokane.
Yet, some have suggested that the impact of
budget cuts has been greatly exaggerated.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Here’swhy:
Thehumantollofbudgetcutsisundeniable: Over 70,000 low-income working adults have
lost health care coverage, over 20,000 children
and families have lost assistance to get and
keep a job, and the cost to attend college
has almost doubled since 2007 at four-year
institutions due to increases in tuition.

exaggerated ignore the very real impact that
these cuts have had on communities through
out our state:
• The number of kids in K-12 increased by
12,135 between 2008 and 2010, but the
number of teachers in classrooms shrunk by
nearly 3,000.

• Approximately 7,000 low-income working
parents have lost crucial child care support,
which helps them remain in the workforce.

THE BUDGET
Every area of state investment has been affected
by cuts (Figure 1). The majority of cuts have
fallen on our education and health care systems.
Cuts to education have reduced the quality of our
children’s education and the ability of workers
o obtain the skills they need for the jobs of
omorrow. Health care cuts have left thousands of
Washingtonians without medical care.
n reality, public structures have weatheredmore than $10 billion in budget cuts
Some have argued the budget cuts reported to
date are mere accounting tricks – that actual
ervice reductions have been much lower. In fact,
heoppositeistrue.Budgetcutsaresignicantly
undercounted in our state budget process. That’s
because every year that reductions are made, the
current service baseline, or “maintenance level,”s reduced (see Box 1). The maintenance level has
been diminished with multiple rounds of budget
eductions. And, cutting from an ever-shrinking
baseline masks the true magnitude of the cuts
enacted so far. The bottom line, as shown in
Figure 2, is that at least $10 billion in budget cuts
have been enacted since the start of the recession.
Claims about higher state revenues fall
apart when placed in contextState tax revenues are far below pre-recession
levels.Beforeadjustmentforination,Figure
3 shows that by 2010, the deepest part of the
recession, state revenues had fallen to $1.9 bill
(12.3 percent) below 2007 levels. Revenues
are presently $820 million (5.3 percent) below
the pre-recession mark, and aren’t projected to
approach 2007 levels until 2014 (Figure 3).
The decline in state revenues is even more
dramaticonceelementsofination,suchas
rising energy prices – which make it more
expensive for the state to fuel police cars and
heat classrooms – are taken into account. In rea
terms(afteradjustmentforination)staterev-
enues are currently about $2 billion (12.6 perce

Over 50,000 low income seniors have lost support

Roughly 20,000 individuals who cannot work
due to a disability have seen their income
support vanish.
The maintenance level refers to the cost of maintaining the same level of services from one sca
year to the next, accounting for factors such asgeneral price ination, increases in the popu-lation, and increases in the number of peoplequalifying for support.
The maintenance level is recalculated each year taccount for changes in the state law enacted theprevious year and for increases or decreases incaseloads. Because it is recalculated annually, it isunknown how much it would cost to provide pre-recession levels of services in the current year.

o recover within the foreseeable future, based on
estimates from the state’s Economic and Revenue
Forecast Council.
Resources are low, but the need for public
ervices is high
The cost of providing consistent levels of services
iseseachyearduetoination,demographic
changes such as the aging of our state population,
and other factors. In addition to these ordinary
cost pressures, the Great Recession – and the
mass layoffs that have come with it – has greatly
ncreased the need for state-supported health care,
educational opportunities, and other essentialervices among Washingtonians.
A good example is Washington’s Apple Health for
Kids program, which has proven to be a crucial
backstop for families throughout the recession.
Figure 4 shows that while thousands of children
n Washington have lost their parents’ employer-
provided health coverage since the start of the
ecession, Apple Health and other public insurance
programshavehelpedtollthegap.Asthegraphhows, about 165,000 children in Washington
ost employer-sponsored insurance from 2006-
07 through 2009-10. During the same period, the
number of children enrolled in state-supported
health programs grew by about 208,000 (Figure 4).
Accordingly, the costs of maintaining Apple Health

Conclusion
Over the next few months, state lawmakers will
make pivotal decisions about the future of our
tate as they work to address a $2 billion shortfall.
t is important for all of us to know where we’ve
been before we can make decisions about where
we’re going next.
n just three years, there have been more than
$10 billion in cuts impacting working families,
children, older adults, people with disabilities,
and students. Another all cuts budget would
be indefensible. Therefore, it is vital that new
revenue be included as part of a balanced solut
to our economic problems.
In the short run, we can raise additional resour
to preserve our essential health and education
structuresbyendingunjustiedtaxbreaksand
modestly increasing the sales tax. An increase
the sales tax should be paired with the Working
FamiliesTaxRebatetosignicantlyreduceco
for lower-income working families with childr
In the long run, a small excise tax on some cap
gains would go a long way toward improvingtheadequacyandequityofourawedrevenue
system.
There will be disagreements about the revenue
package – where it should come from, how mu
it would raise, and who would pay. That is to
be expected. But we should not diminish the
magnitude of cuts to state investments enacted
since the start of the recession. Thousands
of Washingtonians have lost health care andopportunities to build a better future. Ignoring
fact clouds our ability to make sensible choices
about public priorities going forward.

MEMBER LOBBYING
Effective member lobbying starts with understanding how
legislators work and think.
Legislators face unique pressures
1. Legislators simply do not have enough time to
do everything they would like to do.
2. Legislators deal with thousands of bills; they
cast votes on hundreds of bills; and they can’t
possibly know the details of each one.
3. There are more than 1,000 registered lobbyists,
and countless more citizen lobbyists - all vying
for a Legislator’s time, attention and vote.
4. Legislators are accountable to thousands of
constituents back home.
Legislators are forced to prioritize and
specialize
1. Legislators only have time to really dig into a
few issues, so they tend to specialize.
2. On “their” issues they hope their colleagues
will follow their lead and, in turn, they follow
the lead of members they trust that “special-
ize” in other issues.
3. It’s hard for a legislator to go against the “spe-
cialist” from his or her own caucus.
Legislators face demands from their
leadership
1. The leadership of the majority caucus controls
the calendar and agenda.
2. Individual legislators can’t overcome leader-
ship decisions.
3. The hardest thing for a new legislator to adjust
to is that they really don’t have a lot of say in
what happens.
Legislators want to be helpful
- it’s their nature
Legislators want to serve their constituents, bu
there is a limit to what they can do. As memb
lobbyists we can help them by:
• Providingaspecicandrealisticrequest.
• Heeding their advice on ways that will to p
mote our issues.
• Following up with them and keeping them
the loop.
You can expect legislators to:
• Listen.
• Offer advice.
• Be candid.
• Provide insight.
• Keep you posted, if you ask.
You can’t expect legislators to:
• Make you their highest priority.
• Communicate all the time.• Remember all the details.
• Be able to give you more than 15
minutes.
• Read a document or report.

MEMBER LOBBYING
How to communicate effectively with legislators.
Summarize, summarize, summarize
1. You can only expect to meet with your legisla-
tor for 15 minutes or less during the session.
2. Askforaspecicaction.
3. Keep your message focused and positive.
4. Make sure you have time to listen to your leg-
islator’s thoughts, ideas and concerns.
5. Provide a one-page handout to help your legis-
lator keep track of your issue(s).
Public testimony
1. Prepare before the hearing.
2. Make it real; tell your story.
3. Keep it to three (3) minutes or less.
4. Don’t repeat what others have said.
5. Provide staff with a one-page handout.
6. Remember - public testimony is one of the
least effective means of communication with
legislators.
Lobby all year, every year.
1. Invest yourself in campaigns for WFSE/
AFSCME-supported candidates in your area.
2. Interim meetings with legislators are far moreeffective than meetings during session.
3. Invite your legislators to a local meeting or to
your worksite when they are not in session.
4. Be prepared for the long haul; major challeng-
es can take years to pass.
5. To be effective, you must have a sustained
presence.
Forms of communication with legislato
Most effective:
• Work on their campaign.
• Meet with them during the interim.
• Meet with them during the session.
• Personal letters and emails.
• Messages left for them on the Legislative
Holtine.
• Public hearings.
• Having a sustained presence - being there
early and often.
Least effective:
• Form letters.
• Generic post cards.
• Petitions.
• Spam.
• Out-of-district correspondence.
• Rallies or other “one and done”
demonstrations.

OURGENERALMESSAGE:
Your letter or blog posting depends on what you are re-
ponding to.
But the general message is to support revenue
alternatives to avoid an all-cuts budget. We need
revenue to save public safety, public services, health care and higher education.
We also need to build support for the services state em-
ployees provide. Many important programs are targeted
for elimination of downsizing, including: the Basic Health
Plan provided by Health Care Authority members; the
Disability Lifeline provided by DSHS members; in Ju-
venile Rehabilitation, parole services; in Developmental
Disabilities, Rainier School; Community Corrections
community supervision; in Mental Health, additional
wards; Medical Interpreters; Higher Education funding;among many others.

As the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin editorialized last year
hese public servants have become “the new whipping
boy.” But they’re not the enemy. “They perform vital ser-
vices that we have decided we need and want. They live
n our neighborhoods, shop in our stores and volunteer for
projects that meet community needs….(They’re not) im-mune from the pain the rest of us are feeling….There have
been layoffs (which turn a service provider into a collector
ofunemploymentandwelfarebenets).Therehavebeen
furloughs,salaryreductionsandbenetcuts.Government
employees haven’t escaped the fallout of the recession.”
Letters to editors should be factual, be respectful to the au-
dience (it’s not their fault an editorial writer or talk show
host got it wrong), and speak from the heart.
To most in the media, state employees and union membersare nameless, faceless entities and therefore are easy to
arget. If you write a letter or post a blog comment that
alks about your everyday human struggles as a parent or
member of the community, legislators will have a harder
ime sticking it to you.

and the people who represent you. No other group of employees has such
a direct connection to politics as AFSCME members.
Politicians will make decisions that have a great impact onyou - from retirement to job security - with or without your
input. Make your voice heard by joining with other
members in AFSCME PEOPLE.
