Senator Jeff Wilson

Recently I announced my commitment to ask for transparency and investigations regarding the tragic Nippon incident to be expedited and thorough. This process is well underway and we all need the honest facts of “how” this happened.

Here is what I am working on;

Legislation to improve and create standards for storage above ground tanks that store hazardous or dangerous liquids.

Review of worker health and safety standards for those who work around these products and the facilities that store hazardous liquids.

Create a team of experts to make recommendations to the legislature on standards we need to implement. The “experts” include the workforce and state agencies…in the Longview incident the workforce is primarily the union workforce of the AWPPW local members …they were there and they matter.

In addition I am sponsoring resolutions to honor and respect the victims and the families.

My bills can be pre-filed in December.

We are all committed to finding the truth and facts that may need patience while the investigators do their work.

You have my commitment to get these questions answered.

Please continue to send prayers for those workers and their families.
