Investing in Our Values to Rebuild Washington Discussion (Public Invited)

Back on Track: Investing in Our Values to Rebuild Washington

Posted by Ben Secord at Sep 17, 2012 06:00 PM | Permalink

Join legislators, local organizations, and your neighbors for an important community discussion about the challenges we face and ideas for improving our revenue system to make it more adequate and stable. Meetings will be held October 3, 4 and November 15, 2012, at locations posted below.

The state budget is a reflection of our shared values and goals. The decisions we make about the budget directly affect our ability to educate our children, maintain the health and well-being of our communities, and build a thriving middle class. Unfortunately, the deep economic recession and our outdated revenue system present major barriers to our long-term prosperity. 

How can we fund education, healthcare, and things that make Washington a great state to live, do business, and raise a family?
