From Olympia:
State Attorney General Rob McKenna’s staff is ordering a “modified lockdown” at the Highway Licenses Building today in anticipation of protests against the Republican’s lawsuit to block national health reform.
Activists with the progressive group Fuse and others are bringing 18,000 online petition signatures asking McKenna to drop his suit and “not to sacrifice Washington’s health for partisan politics.” They plan to gather at noon at Tivoli Fountain, then go to McKenna’s office.
Participants are expected to include Aaron Belenky, who created a Facebook group and petition that drew interest after Monday’s news about McKenna’s legal move. McKenna plans to join a dozen other states in suing.
