2011 Legislative Session

Day 88 - We're back on the House Floor this morning to run more bills. The Ways and Means Committee passed the proposed budget out last night on a party line vote. The Republican Caucus presented an alternative budget proposal in committee that failed to get passed. Our proposal was a balanced, sustainable approach that focused on funding K-12 Education, public safety and programs which help the most vulnerable people (elderly, kids and the disabled). The Democrat budget is not sustainable and severely cuts K-12 Education. It looks like we'll debate and vote on the proposed budget on Saturday, which means another weekend in Olympia. It turns out going home last weekend will be the last weekend I'm home until session ends.

On a completely different topic, I received word last night that 7 wolves were seen at Rimrock Lake. I'm still trying to get additional information on the sighting, but I am not surprised. I also received an email today from a lady who indicated she has substantive evidence of wolves on Tiger Mountain.
