Gregoire Proposes Budget Without Pay Raises For State Workers

Governor Gregoire has proposed a new State Budget without pay raises for State Workers, Teachers, and Care Workers.  A 5.6% cut to K-12 education is included.

In hard times, the State is having to cut pay raises.  Perhaps the Governor should fly in the Sunnyside City Council to Olympia to find out how to keep pay raises in the budget!  Or better yet, our City Council should hold back on the raises approved for City employees.  Don’t blame the unions, the State employees are unionized also.
