This evening the Washington State Legislature adjourned the regular 2010 supplemental session. Shortly thereafter, Governor Gregoire signed a proclamation to convene a special session of the Legislature beginning Monday, March 15th.

The Governor asked Senate and House leadership to focus on reaching a compromise budget and revenue package to close the state’s $2.8 billion gap, as well as legislation to create jobs.

Gregoire is urging the House and Senate to complete their work in a seven day session. The overtime period can run up to 30 days.
