Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit WFSE Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: Gregoire's budget calls for suspending negotiated raises, closure of Yakima Valley School and Naselle Youth Camp, and cuts to Community Corrections. The governor's proposed operating budget unveiled on December 18th is brutal on state employees and the services they provide. In these tough fiscal times, everything was supposed to be on the table - including possible revenue increases and cutting some of the state's $54 billion in tax loopholes and tax breaks. "Our biggest concern is that everything should be on the table and that includes tax loopholes and revenue enhancements," Federation Executive Director Greg Devereux said.
"If the economic parts of our negotiated contracts that were ratified two months ago can be suspended, why can't a campaign pledge on no revenue increases be retracted?"
