Members swarm first round of budget hearings to save jobs, programs, institutions


 

The House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday held the first in a two-day whirlwind of hearings on the governor’s budget proposals and members from Yakima Valley School, Naselle Youth Camp, Special Commitment Center and the DSHS General Assistance-Unemployable program testified.

Four House committees hold hearings today and Federation members will be there.

We’ll have a full wrap up Friday on all the hearings.

Testifying Wednesday were: Julianne Moore, Local 1326, Yakima Valley School; Craig Gibelyou, Local 793, representing the Special Commitment Center; Kevin Prestegard and Jerry Elliott, Local 2263, Naselle Youth Camp; and Karen Mork, Local 313, with the GA-U program in Vancouver.
