Capital budget passes. Lege to adjourn
OLYMPIA -- The Legislature passed a $3.6 billion capital projects budget this evening as its last action of its protracted session.
In quick succession, the House and Senate both passed the list of projects and gave the state the authority to sell bonds to build them.
With a plan to spend an extra $10 billion on transportation projects dead, the capital budget was the final thing on the Legislature's plate and adjournment is expected soon.
