Which Budget would You Pick?

There are currently three budgets that have been proposed for Washington State and they differ greatly. We have been lucky to have an increase of 2 billion in revenues but how that is implemented it up for debate.

I am including a simple comparison of the three budgets, that give you an idea of what is being talked about. The Senate coalition budget does not make temporary taxes permanent or increase the B&O tax. So if I had to pick one, this would be my choice. However, if I could have it my way there would be a 4th version on the table.

I'll take the coalition route myself. Too bad we don't get to vote on it...

I wish we could vote on it too. I will be paying close attention as to how our Reps vote though!

Dinah, I would take the coalition budget. And it is amazing how much each state spends on education each year for the results most states get.

Dale- in Washington state we have a lot of unfunded mandates and the McCleary decision stated that it is unconstitutional. So instead of having recommendations that local schools can choose to comply with, instead we continue on with mandates that are not funded adequately and are a financial burden on our schools. We should be more focused on our students education.
