Sunday Spin 2: Say what?

“Are those questions that could be resolved in the budget, or are those questions that would be resolved with a Ouija Board or something? Is it knowable?” – Appropriations Committee Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, after being told the costs of expanding medical residencies for rural and Eastern Washington were not known in a bill that called for that expansion.
