I went over to Olympia on Thursday to deliver beef to two customers, spent the night and went to my State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee meeting Friday morning. I gambled on whether the Hwy 12 construction would be going on Friday afternoon and lost ... 4+ hours to drive from Olympia to Moxee, yikes.
Yesterday, the Columbian Newspaper ran an article (www.columbian.com/news/2011/sep/22/special-session...pport) regarding the budget deficit and November 28th Special Session. According to the article Rep. Tim Probst (D-Vancouver) noted "that over the past four years, the Legislature has cut the size of state government to 1988 levels." Come on Rep. Probst, 1988 levels? Really? The 1987-89 biennial operating budget was $10.176 billion and the 2011-2013 biennial operating budget is approximately $32 billion. There is simply no way WA State could initiate budget cuts to 1988 levels. Heck, I doubt we could even make 1998 budget levels.
