Washington state agencies to close Sept. 7

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Sept. 1, 2010

OLYMPIA – The next widespread shutdown of state agencies as a result of budget shortfalls will take place Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010, following the Labor Day weekend.

In April 2010, the state Legislature passed and Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6503. Designed to reduce state government spending for employees, the law requires that state agencies close on the 10 days specified in the bill or submit an alternate compensation reduction plan for approval by the Office of Financial Management.
Additional closures will take place:

* 2010: Oct. 11, Dec. 27
* 2011: Jan. 28, Feb. 22, March 11, April 22, June 10

The closures will save more than $70 million in all funds in 2010–11. The temporary layoff law was passed as part of a series of measures to address an almost $12 billion shortfall during the 2009–11 budget period.

Evan Smith: Baker likes prospects to defeat Chase

Republican David Baker says that the political climate is right for him to defeat Democrat Maralyn Chase for the open 32nd District State Senate seat.

Baker said Wednesday that he is encouraged because most primary voters voted for someone other than Chase.

He noted that this was the first time in 16 years that a Democratic candidate for 32nd District State Senate had taken less than 50 percent of the primary vote.
