Show Notes
Washington state lawmakers passed a new budget, boosting operating spending to $80.2 billion, transportation funding to $16.7 billion, and capital spending to $8.4 billion. Democrats relied on a millionaires tax and rainy-day fund, while Republicans criticized the spending hike, arguing it ignores long-term problems. Cuts targeted child care subsidies, public education, and tax breaks. Governor Ferguson has 20 days to sign or veto the bills, with potential legal challenges looming.
