With competing budgets from House Democrats and Senate Republicans having been unveiled in the Washington Legislature, it appears both make strides toward making progress on fulfilling the state Supreme Court’s McCleary decision mandating full funding of basic education.  Republican 14th District Representative Norm Johnson says they won’t get to full funding, but notes they have until 2018 under the ruling to get there.  The battleground will almost certainly involve taxation, and specifically a capital gains tax and a business and occupations tax increase that is in the House Democrat budget and vehemently opposed by Senate Republicans.
