Continue to get your calls in against the worst parts of the Senate and House budgets, respectively. Here is a quick list of some but not all of the target areas:
GREEN HILL SCHOOL AND NASELLE YOUTH CAMP
Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge senators to oppose the closure of Green Hill School in Chehalis in the Senate budget (SB 5600) and representatives to oppose the closure of Naselle Youth Camp in the House budget (HB 1244). Also oppose the cuts to juvenile rehabilitation probation and parole and any projected cuts to state employee-staffed group homes. All the cuts harm the continuum of care in JRA.
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS
Call 1-800-562-6000 to oppose the cuts to community supervision of 12,000 dangerous offenders in both budgets. They harm public safety and will mean the loss of hundreds of jobs.
YAKIMA VALLEY SCHOOL
Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge senators to oppose the closure of Yakima Valley School in the Senate budget (SB 5600). The House budget keeps it open.
FISH HATCHERIES
Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge legislators to oppose the closure of seven fish hatcheries in both budgets. They squander our natural resources.
PARKS
Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge legislators to support the funding plan to keep all parks open.
