Republican Senator Kills the "Kill-Bertha" Bill

Washington State LegislatureSenator Curtis King (R-Yakima), Kill-Bertha-bill-killer. Rawr!
To recap: On Monday, two Republican state senators, Doug Ericksen (R-Ferndale) and Michael Baumgartner (R-Spokane) floated a bill that would mandate the Bertha tunnel's demise. Today, that bill got kicked over to the Senate transportation committee. And now the chair of that committee, Republican Senator Curtis King of Yakima, says that the "Kill-Bertha" bill won't even get a hearing.
