April Fools…Wishful Thinking…Somewhat

Late this afternoon, it was discovered the much anticipated resolution of a tax package of $800 million to close the $2.8 billion state budget gap was not completely true. 

While there is no “final” agreement” it does appear that an initial agreement has been reached. After a brief floor session in which the Senate concurred with House amendments on three Senate bills, Senators joined their respective caucuses to discuss a new revenue proposal (this is what was hinted at in the earlier email).  There are no indications as of yet regarding the response from members.

The House is expected to discuss the new revenue proposal tomorrow when they return to Olympia to move some bills forward in the legislative process.
