The Washington Legislature has convened in Olympia for its scheduled 105-day session. Democrats and Governor Jay Inslee say more revenues are needed for a projected budget shortfall of more than two billion dollars, while Republicans say the state has enough for existing services and education, and the focus should be on efficient spending. The lead budget writer for House Republicans, Bruce Chandler of the 14th District, thinks increasing taxes would hurt the state’s economy, which he believes has stabilized but has not recovered. Inslee gives his state of the state speech on Tuesday.
