Barers Of Maple Valley is sad to learn of the passing of Former Washington House Speaker Frank Chopp. Chopp was the longest serving Speaker Of The House in the history of our state. As such, he was a lightning rod for critique from both sides of the aisle.
Watching out for the "little guy" he was not always on board for multi-million dollar sports projects, making himself constant fodder for the local sports talk radio stations.
I first met in 1996 at a campaign kickoff for Dave Asher, who was running for state house at the time.
The Cascadia Advocate blog has this report on the late former speaker. Click here
