From the Ballard News-Tribune:
Not too many names were named, but it was clear at the 36th District Town Hall at the Phinney Neighborhood Center that legislators were disappointed — to put it lightly — in the actions of Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom and the Senate Majority Coalition.

“I think a lot of people don’t appreciate this type of move. Changing Senate rules, blocking things, not allowing votes to come to the floor,” Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-Belltown) said. She hinted that things would not look good on the campaign trail for Republicans and the turncoat Democrats. Tom will be up for re-election in 2014.
