Medical Interpreter Day at the Capitol -- and legislators began wearing "Take the Vote" pledge buttons

WFSE/AFSCME Local 1671 Medical Intepreters, whose program faces elimination in the governor's budget, met with dozens of legislators over lunch Tuesday on Day 2 of the Week of Action in Olympia. Some legislators, like Rep. Cindy Ryu, D-32, donned one of the union's "Take the Vote" buttons to signal they're ready to vote on cutting tax giveaways to find revenue for public safety, public services and higher education. Others studied the union's compilation of 27 tax giveaways that, if closed, would raise $2.3 billion revenue.
