Inslee Signs Education-funding Measure

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill that supporters say will ensure continued bipartisan collaboration on full funding for basic education in Washington has been signed by Governor Jay Inslee.  The measure will create the Education Funding Task Force, made up of eight lawmakers and one non-voting facilitator from the governor's office.  Inslee says the bill will assure that the Legislature is ready in 2017 to abide by the state Supreme Court mandate to fulfill its constitutional obligations to fund education.  The task force will recommend sources of state revenue to support Washington's program of basic education.
