POLITICS Washington state Legislature heads into second special session OLYMPIA — Washington state government could shut down July 1 if deadlock continues in the state Legislature. The De- mocrat-led House and Republi- can-led Senate were unable to agree on a 2015-17 state operat- ing budget during the 105-day regular session or a subsequent 30-day special session, so Gov. Jay Inslee called the Legislature back for another special session starting May 29. Last fall, for the first time in state history, the Washington Supreme Court found the Wash- ington Legislature in contempt of court for failing to comply with a 2014 court order that it fund K-12 schools adequately. But the court held off until the end of the 2015 legislative ses- sion to impose sanctions, which could include fines and selling off state property. Senate Republicans have balked at raising taxes or closing tax breaks, which would be nec- essary to comply with the court order. They’ve also refused to fund negotiated public em- ployee raises unless Democrats agree to make public employee union bargaining sessions open to the public. HAPPENINGS Union women to gather in Portland June 23-27 The 34th Annual Western Re- gional Summer Institute for Union Women will take place June 23-27 at Reed College in Portland. Over 150 union and community women from Ore- gon, Washington, California, and British Columbia are ex- pected to attend. The institute, co-sponsored by the United Association for Labor Education, and the Labor Education and Research Cen- ters at the University of Oregon and South Seattle College, of- fers a mix of training, cultural events and team-building exer- cises designed to strengthen leadership skills, as well as to share strategies and experi- ences.
