Senate Dems' budget plan avoids deeper cuts to education
Senate Democrats will propose a budget Tuesday that spares K-12 and higher education from additional cuts, Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ed Murray said Monday.
The budget also won't suggest asking voters to approve a sales-tax increase. Murray said such a tax proposal is "highly unlikely" this session.
Those were the only details Murray would divulge. He would not discuss cuts, or whether his budget would delay certain K-12 payments, which House Democrats included in their budget proposal last week.
