Behind The Line Podcast

Washington State lawmakers are moving fast on a slate of bills being heard Monday that will directly impact public safety, early inmate release, voting rights, energy reliability, fuel and tire costs, farming expenses, and government transparency. These proposals include expanded early release for offenders, removal of voter-elected positions, new hidden fees on tires and fuel, increased costs for farmers and boat owners, attacks on affordable baseload energy, and new authority for the state to issue confidential IDs to its own investigators.
This episode of Left Coast News breaks down what these bills actually do, why they matter to conservatives and working families, and how their combined effect means higher prices, weaker accountability, and reduced public safety across Washington.
⚠️ Most importantly: These bills are being heard Monday, and public comment is still open. If you oppose higher costs, government secrecy, and policies that put ideology ahead of safety, now is the time to act. You can register your opposition in minutes on the Washington State Legislature website. Silence will be counted as approval.
Watch. Share. And register CON before it’s too late!
