Day 96 - We're working through the Concurrence/Dispute Calendar again today. It should be another early day, with the Ways and Means Committee meeting at 3:30 PM. Another day, another stack of tax increases proposed by Democrats in Olympia. The latest, SB 5947, would increase taxes on livestock semen, propane and natural gas to heat chicken structures, and chicken bedding materials. For all of those who enjoy eating chicken, prepare for an increase in prices ... all the more reason to eat beef!
We just found out we ARE NOT WORKING THIS WEEKEND. Looks like I'll get to head home for the weekend after all. The bad news is not working this weekend almost certainly means we'll be headed to Special Session. As of right now, Special Session will begin on the Monday or Tuesday after Easter. I remain hopeful that any Special Session will be a "rolling" session which means only the budget folks will need to be here until agreements are reached; unfortunately, we heard this morning that the Governor wants to keep all of us here. UGH!
Tonight a small group of us are headed to Seattle to go to the Hinder concert ... Should be a great time.
