, Lynam has learned, when elected officials are hammering away at difficult budget decisions. And of that, Lynam and fellow PLU student, Bridgette Cooper ’11, have a front-row view. “By far, I think it’s one of the best times to be down here,” Cooper, a legislative intern for Sen. Derek Kilmer (D-Gig Harbor), said.
