Today's Hot List

Going on right now:
The House Ways & Means Committee was scheduled to take action on the operating budget proposal yesterday but there were literally dozens and dozens of amendments to go through. The committee is meeting this morning and will hopefully pass the bill out of committee today.

Also, the House Capital Budget Committee is hearing the Washington Works Act proposed yesterday by Rep. Hans Dunshee to invest $3 billion into improving the health, safety and energy efficiency of our state schools and universities.

At 10 a.m., members will head to the floor and to caucus. There are some resolutions on the calendar and a lengthy list of bills to start running. Today marks the start of all-day floor sessions so everyone is gearing up for some late nights on the floor as we head in to the home stretch of the session.
