OLYMPIA -- Nothing expected today in the Lege. Most of the honorables are  home or anywhere but here while a few of their leaders try to find a compromise on what taxes to raise for the budget package.

They do have some work scheduled for tomorrow, but if there's no deal on taxes, it might not take long.

Meanwhile, Gov. Chris Gregoire is announcing some judicial appointments to appeals courts this afternoon, including an appointment to Division III in Spokane.
