Commissioner Lee Grose, Lewis County (R) and Angie Homola, Island County (D) received the first “Book End” awards at the Washington State Association of Counties Legislative Steering Committee de-brief meeting in Chelan County. The awards were presented to honor their exemplary efforts in reaching across the aisle to establish legislative priorities of statewide significance. The award singles out a Democratic and a Republican county commissioner from the 39 counties in Washington who demonstrate the greatest amount of bi-partisanship in the conduct of their office.
