This evening the Washington House passed legislation that will reduce the current budget shortfall by nearly $500 million, setting up the potential for adjournment of the special session as early as tomorrow night.

The House voted 86 to 8 to pass a budget package that consists of reductions to programs and services, fund shifts, and new revenues.

The bill now goes to the Senate. Earlier today the Senate Ways & Means Committee passed its version of the budget proposal setting up a late morning or early afternoon vote tomorrow on the Senate floor.
