Summary: Last week's welcome news that the burdensome aircraft tax proposal in Washington state had been defeated followed a weeks-long advocacy campaign in which NBAA and its Members worked as part of a unified grassroots coalition that included the Pacific Northwest Business Aviation Association, Members of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the Washington Pilots Association and others. The decision by the diverse group of stakeholders to band together in opposition to the tax was critical to the win in the battle. In this week's episode of the NBAA Flight Plan podcast, NBAA Northwest Regional Representative Kristi Ivey discusses the lessons from the advocacy effort that NBAA Members can apply to legislative initiatives in their states.
