Washington Legislature should leave debt limit alone
The Times' recent editorial about lowering the state's debt limit misses the mark ["State's debt limit should be lowered," May 19].
Lowering the debt limit from its current manageable and reasonable 9 percent of state revenues would not help the economy, it would hinder it. Should the state Senate's debt limit proposal be enacted, spending on infrastructure improvements could shrink by $8.6 billion over the next 20 years.
