The Senate rolls out its budget Monday. It will be brutal. We expect many cuts. It will be worse than the governor’s proposal because the deficit has grown 62 percent since her plan came out in December.
But we need to keep the pressure on to find other revenue sources to head off the devastating cuts anticipated in the Senate budget.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee will hear the Senate budget at 3:30 p.m., this Monday, March 30, in Senate Hearing Room 4 in the John A. Cherberg Building on the Capitol campus.
Come to the hearing dressed in AFSCME green. Join us beforehand at 1:30 p.m. at Federation Headquarters, 1212 Jefferson St. S.E., Olympia. For information, call 1-800-562-6002.
The House is expected to unveil its budget Tuesday. The back-to-back unveilings are unusual—and probably indicate lawmakers want to move quickly on the budget and get out of town.
