Show Notes
Washington State House Republicans opposed the Democrats supplemental operating budget, totaling nearly eighty billion dollars, which includes two billion in new spending and relies on new taxes. The budget faced criticism due to the Keeping Families Together Act, which raised concerns about child welfare. Republicans proposed an amendment to count drug exposure as imminent harm, but it failed despite some Democratic support. The House and Senate will now negotiate their budget versions, aiming to send a final one to the governor before session ends on March twelfth.
