Sen. Yasmin Trudeau (D-Tacoma), vice chair of the Senate Ways & Means Committee for the capital budget, released the following statement in response to the capital budget proposed by Gov. Jay Inslee Tuesday:
“I would like to thank the governor and his team for all their work. This budget proposal will be an important foundation to our capital budget writing work this session. I share the governor’s commitment to continuing major investments in affordable housing and completing some of our state’s most important infrastructure projects, like the new Western State hospital, so we can ensure all Washingtonians can get the care and services they need. All three of our state’s budgets face challenges in 2025, but I am confident we can work together — urban and rural, Democrats and Republicans — to put together a final capital budget that delivers on the real needs of Washingtonians.”
