Representative Steve Tharinger (D-Dungeness) has been named vice chair of the Finance Committee for the 2015 Legislative Session of the State House of Representatives.

“Funding our education system and crucial state services is a big task and as the Finance Committee vice chair, I plan on working with members of both parties to revise the state’s tax system to better align with Washington state’s 21st century economy.  The current tax system deprives the state from needed revenue to fund rural hospitals and the strong schools our children need to thrive.”

Tharinger will also return as a member of the Appropriations and Health Care & Wellness committees.
