Day 29 Update - We're about to begin debating the 2011-13 Operating Budget. Did you know 41% of all the budget cuts are to Education? Did you know that teachers and support staff will receive a 1.9% pay cut? Did you know that the Department of Ecology's budget is only cut by 3.5%? Did you know public safety is being jeopardized through the reduction of 86 Community Corrections Officers and approximately 2,100 fewer offenders on active supervision (offenders guilty of sexual misconduct with a minor 2, custodial sexual misconduct 2, communication with a minor for immoral purposes, failure to register as a sex offender, etc.)? Did you know the budget pushes $120 million education expenditures to something called a "25th Month"? Did you know the budget offers zero long-term systemic changes to the way government does business?
