Gorge Commission Funding In WA Senate Budget; But Not In House Plan

Funding for the Columbia River Gorge Commission is included in the Washington State Senate’s budget proposal, but not in the House.  17th District Senator Paul Harris says the Senate fiscal plan appropriated $4.5 million for the Gorge Commission, less than the $5.5 million it was receiving.  Harris expects the Gorge Commission to be funded when the two chambers and the Governor hammer out a deal.  Harris believe Governor Bob Ferguson will want to provide funding to the Commission, but he isn’t sure to what extent.  Under the Columbia River Gorge Compact, the states of Oregon and Washington are to provide the same amount of funding to the Gorge Commission.
