SUBJECT: GOAL Post 2015-Special-7
Legislative Update from
Olympia 19 June 2015
- NO ACTION
- DEMS DEMAND NEW TAXES
- REPUBLICANS HOLD FIRM, NO NEW TAXES
- SECOND SPECIAL SESSION ENDS NEXT SATURDAY
- 26,000 STATE EMPLOYEES TO BE FURLOUGHED
No action on the budgets this
week. Democrats are holding out for new
taxes, Republicans are holding firm on their balanced budget submission. Which side will blink first? Democrats are confident, if state government
shuts down, the Republicans will take the blame.
The Second Special Session
ends next Saturday. If no budget
agreement is reached, approximately 26,000 "non-essential" state
employees will be furloughed. If they're
designated "non-essential," why are they there in the first place?
Interesting times ahead.
