We were called back to Olympia for another day on the House Floor waiting for the Democrat Majority to decide what they want to do. We were able to adopt a Resolution honoring Trooper Sean M. O'Connell Jr who was killed in the line of duty in May, but have done little else. There are only four bills on the Floor Calendar, so it could be a short day and we have no idea how long we’ll be here.
We ran the Capital Budget as amended to only address those projects passed over the last three biennia through re-appropriated funds. In other words, the projects contained in the amended Capital Budget have already been bonded and are on-going. Unfortunately, we have no idea where these projects are in the process or whether all of them have been started. The Capital Budget also includes millions of dollars for land purchases, yet we have no idea which of the purchases are pending, in process or simply on the state’s wish list. House Bill 1089 passed 83 to 10 with 4 excused.
And now we’re done for the day … amazing.
