Funding proposals split residents view on Puget Sound cleanup
Survey finds 72 percent support a mixed funding plan favored by Rep. Jeanine Long to improve water quality, using current revenue Referendum 39 money and bonds. The 1985 Legislature considered Gardner’s $450 million bond option and a pay-as-you-go tax as alternatives. Long cites flood responses in Snohomish and King counties and urges emergency officials’ input. Damage could reach $1 million in South County. Sen. Bill Kiskaddon hails the equal pay settlement as a milestone toward ending wage discrimination, detailing a six year pay rise path for women-dominated state jobs. The plan reduces the lawsuit against the state and aims for a budget impact of about 0.1 percent annually.
