This year\u2019s Senate budget proposal makes the biggest new investment in school funding in years, with $2.9 billion in new money for our schools and an emphasis on special education services. It\u2019s got about a half a billion dollars in new investments for behavioral and mental health care and for drug treatment to address the addiction crisis. It also funds some great programs for our agricultural sector, like the Sustainable Farms &amp; Fields, which provides clean energy tools to our farmers like dairy digesters and better management of livestock and manure and funding to plan around flood prevention and our county\u2019s ongoing recovery. It has money for local training for law enforcement at a new facility we\u2019re building in Bellingham so they don\u2019t have to go down to Burien anymore, for a local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatcomcounty.us\/3934\/ART-Program\">alternative response program<\/a> that sends behavioral health specialists to non-violent behavioral health calls, for homelessness prevention including safe parking in our district, for carbon sequestration and for other environmental programs, and a whole lot more \u2013 and does it all <strong>without raising taxes<\/strong>.

As vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, I got to help write this budget and look forward to sharing what I\u2019ve learned to better our community.<\/p>\n<p>Our priorities in transportation were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep our promises \u2013 we plan projects out years before we can build them, then commit to building those projects in our transportation packages. Examples are things like the Thornton Overpass which was planned years ago and is estimated to be complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityofferndale.org\/public-works-department\/capital-projects\/thornton-railroad-overcrossing-project\/\">later this year<\/a>. If we told the public we\u2019d build a project, we need to deliver.<\/li>\n<li>Traffic safety \u2013 too many people are dying on our roads and highways, and we need safer infrastructure to make sure everyone gets home okay.<\/li>\n<li>Clean, green, and healthy \u2013 our transportation system is a major source of carbon pollution, and we need to support electric vehicles, e-bikes, and all kinds of bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure, so people can get to where they need to go and protect our climate at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These means that we\u2019re funding things like a new interchange at I-5 and Slater Road for safety, funding for the Whatcom Transportation Authority to support transit, incentives for purchases of e-bikes, elevating Kneuman Road in Sumas and Slater Road near Ferndale so we have evacuation routes in times of flood, buying electric ferries for our neighbors in island communities, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n<p>Making these climate investments is possible because of the Climate Commitment Act that we passed in 2021. The CCA requires big polluters to buy permits at auction, then that money is dedicated for spending on climate and environmental projects and programs. It\u2019s great to see this program going into effect so that we can have both a healthy planet AND make the investments it takes for a strong economy. We don\u2019t have to choose \u2013 we can have both!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2694 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-263x177.jpg 263w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/senatedemocrats.wa.gov\/shewmake\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/20230324_115025aa-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>One of the perks of serving in the Legislature is meeting the interesting people and groups who come here. The Senate passed a resolution recognizing the sport of cricket, and I got to take five minutes out of my day to get some quick instruction on the game out on the lawn. Fun!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Capital Budget!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our capital budget funds our state\u2019s physical infrastructure \u2013 mostly buildings, but many other things too. Our Senate proposal would make a big investment in directly constructing affordable housing statewide, to go along with the work we\u2019re doing to promote private development. I\u2019m very confident that our budget this year will set a record for the biggest investment in affordable housing in state history.<\/p>\n<p>It also builds a lot of local projects here in Whatcom County, like half a million dollars for the Van Zant town hall, $10 million for the Nooksack River\u2019s \u201cFloodplains By Design\u201d program which will reduce flooding risk and restore habitat, a whole bunch of salmon recovery projects, and a lot more \u2013 if you want to see the list of projects proposed for the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> District, <a href=\"https:\/\/fiscal.wa.gov\/statebudgets\/CapitalProjectListDistrictBien\">go to this link<\/a> and choose \u201c42<sup>nd<\/sup> Legislative District\u201d in the District dropdown menu.<\/p>\n<p>All of these projects help create jobs directly and build the infrastructure for our communities, our businesses, and our environment to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>One factor that\u2019s really exciting \u2013 <strong>all three of these budgets have big bipartisan support in the Senate<\/strong>. Being able to reach bipartisan agreement on these budgets is great news and helps make sure that they work for folks in communities all across the state.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s next? With the House and Senate both releasing proposals for all three of these budgets, the next step is to get together and negotiate our differences. I\u2019ll be working on the transportation budget, discussing with my colleagues in the House how we can bring our ideas together and come to a final agreement that works for the people of Washington. We\u2019ve got until the end of session, April 23, to get this work done, so I\u2019ve got a few busy weeks ahead of me.<\/p>\n<p>If you have thoughts on these budgets and what the state should be funding, let me know!
