Budget talks continue on day 2 of special session

Gov. Chris Gregoire met on Tuesday with key lawmakers in a continuing effort to broker a deal on the state budget impasse, but no breakthrough has yet been reached.

In the second day of the special session, the main sticking points remain a Republican plan to skip about $130 million in pension payments and a Democratic plan to delay a $330 million payment to school districts by one day.
