Wenatchi Landing: $2 Million Capital Budget Request For Sewer Line
This year’s legislative session in Olympia reached the half-way point this week. Although lawmakers have passed the so-called “fiscal cutoff” for bills – getting legislation that has fiscal impacts out of committee – we haven’t heard a lot of talk about budgets yet.
2019 is a biennium year – a longer, 105-day session in which lawmakers must pass three, two-year budgets for the state – operating, transportation and capital.
Dan Langager reports on a local request to help fund sewer expansion.
