Bill Land
We update listeners on our two remaining education funding bills - SB 5192 for Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs and SB 5263 for Special Education). These bills have now had a hearing and are waiting for a vote in the House Appropriations committee. We highlight powerful testimony including Bellevue School District's announcement that they'll face "binding conditions" (educational bankruptcy) without additional funding.
Budget Land
We take you on a welcome tour of "Budget Land" to give you an orientation to Washington State's budget-adoption process. House and Senate Budgets dropped as we were preparing this episode. Hearings and exec will all happen in a super-compressed timeline before we see you for week 12.
See our Show Notes for contacts and templates to reach out to Appropriations committee members, as well as a freeset of digital green-tinted glasses.
