Special Edition of Notes From Olympia – February 23

On February 22, the Senate and House released their respective proposed Supplemental Operating Budgets, PSSB 5998 (Robinson) and PSHB 2289 (Ormsby) and on February 23 the Senate and House released their respective proposed Supplemental Capital Budgets, PSSB 6003 (Trudeau) and PSHB 2295 (Tharinger).

We have included our initial comparison analysis of both budgets.

These are very complicated and complex budget documents, so it is likely we may have misread some details. Feel free to bring questions to our attention and we will include updates and corrections in an upcoming Notes From Olympia.

Check out Friday’s Notes From Olympia for a more thorough review of the budget approaches and The Washington State Standard coverage of the budget unveilings.

And a personal note of thanks to fiscal and agency staff and lobbying colleagues for helping build this document in a short timeframe. Any errors are mine.
