27 Chambers of Commerce across the state developed the 2012 Legislative Dashboard that outlined priorities for the 2012 legislative session in Olympia.

The top priority is for the legislature to bring down state expenditures and encourage economic recovery through job creation. The dashboard asks for the state to reduce state health care costs by increasing emphasis on effective wellness programs, retain tax incentives that benefit job growth, support reforms to the current minimum wage, create high performance schools with an emphasis on STEM education, pass a balanced transportation package, and a lot more.

Much of what is in the dashboard matches GSI's legislative priorities, such as STEM education, a transportation package and more.
