OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire is calling a special session so that lamwakers can finish their work on patching a $2.8 billion budget hole.
Lawmakers adjourned their 60-day regular session on Thursday night. But House and Senate Democrats don’t yet have an agreement on their updated budget plan or tax package.
The special session will begin Monday.
