The three 1st Legislative District lawmakers will host a town hall meeting on March 16 in Bothell. The meeting will take place from 1-3 p.m. in the multipurpose room of Bothell’s Northshore Senior Center, which is located at 10201 East Riverside Dr.

The 1st District includes Bothell and parts of Kirkland.

State Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, and state Reps. Derek Stanford and Luis Moscoso comprise the 1st Legislative District delegation to the 63rd Washington State Legislature. McAuliffe, Stanford, Moscoso, and the 144 other legislators are almost halfway through their 2013 session work.

McAuliffe is the ranking member of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee, while Stanford and Moscoso are a part of state-budget deliberations. Stanford is the vice chair of the House Capital Budget Committee and Moscoso is vice chair of the House Transportation Committee.

The primary focus of the meeting will be to discuss state education funding. Recent Washington State Supreme Court rulings on education-funding and tax-bill voting thresholds are certainly the center of attention in Olympia.
