WA Lawmakers Hope Special Session Will Result In Stopping Budget Standoff

(Olympia, WA)  --  Following a 105-day regular session, the Washington State Legislature will begin a special session this morning at ten o'clock with the hope of getting a budget passed for the next fiscal period.  Among the tasks at hand is coming to an agreement on how to meet the state Supreme Court mandate to fully fund K-through-12 education.  The Democratic-majority House and the Republican-majority Senate have each approved a budget plan, but they differ considerably from each other.  Governor Jay Inslee says it's a job that "cannot wait."
