Special Legislative Session Looms

(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington state lawmakers are resigned to the fact that there will be a special legislative session.  House and Senate leaders say their respective budget plans will be giving way to a package that will require negotiation from both sides.  The main point of contention will be public education, which the Legislature is mandated by the state Supreme Court to fully fund under the McCleary decision.  Governor Jay Inslee is likely to call lawmakers into an overtime session beginning Monday.
