OLYMPIA -- The two competing factions in the Legislature (House Democrats and Senate Democrats) have staked out their territory on taxes.

While they try to negotiate a compromise, or until one side gives in to the other, the houses will be debating and voting on a few other things. Senate is taking up a proposed change to General Assistance Unemployable sometime today. House is expected to agree to changes in a housing act, but not to some rural county tax deferrals.
