Late today, Friday afternoon, the House Ways & Means Committee announced a public hearing on HB 1087 for Monday, April 4 at 3:30 p.m. This is the operating budget for the 2011-13 biennium.
Within minutes, the House Capital Budget Committee announced a public hearing Tuesday, April 5 at 8 a.m. on HB 1497, the state’s two-year construction budget.
Both hearings will be on proposed substitute bills (substitutes to the ones introduced by Gov. Chris Gregoire last December), and aren’t available yet for public review. Usually 24 hours of review is provided, but it is possible we won’t see the spending plans until Monday morning.
