It's week 7 in the Washington State Legislative process and bills are currently being heard in their House or Origin Fiscal Committees. Fiscal committee line-ups mixed with budget news, mixed with Federal updates are making us a little politically charged and we need to take a breather.

Correction: Megan makes a mistake by saying the local resolution came from Lincoln County, when it actually came from Franklin County, WA.

Resources:

1. House Democrats relsease the "No New Revenue" or "all cuts" budget (it's bad!)
