This is it. On Monday, the legislature reconvened for a special session. My priority is to ensure it passes a budget that reflects our values.
The budget touches everything that happens in Washington State — schools for our kids, health care for our seniors, and infrastructure for our businesses. Passing a budget that reflects my priorities — our priorities — by putting our obligation to students ahead of tax breaks is one of my most important goals as governor.
I’m honored that thousands of Washingtonians have already stood with me to endorse my Working Washington budget priorities and send the message that Washingtonians are insisting on a responsible budget that supports our kids and moves our state forward. But we haven’t heard from you yet.
I will continue to be engaged in productive discussions with legislators as we work to find consensus on a budget that reflects our values.
All of our work has been building to this. We need to pass a responsible, sustainable budget that rebuilds our economy, protects our critical services, and meets our responsibility to our children.
We can’t let up now.
Thank you for all of your tremendous support.
Very truly yours,
Jay Inslee Governor
