The supplemental transpo budget passes the house!

Women in transpo week next week! Rep Fey took the time to thank all the ladies in transpo who have helped us create the modern infrastructure we live in WA #womenintranspo

Last year we had to set some projects back, we were not able to fully fund all those projects…we’re using existing bonding authority because as the revenue forecast shows us, we must be responsible and conservative #transpobudget

It’s about making changes for things that couldn’t be foreseen, and taking into consideration our revenue forecast - Rep. Fey, House Transpo Chair #transpobudget

Chair Fey getting major kudos from the Republican ranking member for his bipartisan approach to crafting the transpo budget #transpobudget

This session, the House is working on a supplemental transpo budget, which means they want to make adjustments to what was passed last year as the “big biennial budget”

It’s a truly bipartisan budget - with republicans and democrats testifying in support. #transpobudget

Rep. Paul noted important language in the budget that talks about funding more ferries responsibly in the future - we need to be careful how we borrow money for our essential infrastructure projects #transpobudget

Rep. Donaghy, literal boss and transpo vice chair says, this budget was crafted thoughtfully

“I’d love to see a future where we have passenger rail reliably and quickly from Seattle to Spokane” -Rep. Reed on this year’s transpo budget investments in rail

Rep. Reed, a queen in the transpo world, talking about how we’re close to having our millionth rider on our passenger rail system. Investments in rail infrastructure means less congestion and a healthier planet.

Rep. Bernbaum is talking preservation and maintenance - the guiding principal in crafting the transpo budget, per Chair Fey #transpobudget

It’s Saturday but your lawmakers are hard at work. We’re working to get a supplemental transportation budget on the House floor now.

The truth is: when participation is manipulated, it doesn’t just distort a moment, it undermines the democratic process. The Chief Clerk is investigating reported issues with online sign-ins, and the Attorney General has been notified. Real engagement shouldn’t be drowned out by bad-faith tactics.
