Lawmakers are rushing to push the spending plan through their chambers by the end of Wednesday, when the special session comes to an end. Gov. Chris Gregoire commend- ed lawmakers for making difficult decisions. “I knew in December when I announced my budget that a sustainable future required heart- wrenching decisions,” Gregoire said. She added that those decisions would affect “every Washingtonian — and many families will lose critical state services that they’ve come to rely on.” House Republican Leader Richard DeBolt said one day probably was- n’t enough time for the public to fully assess the plan.

Joe Zarelli, of Ridgefield, said he was pleased that all sides worked together in the negotiations. “I’m sure there are some things where people felt like they won and other things where they felt like they were marginalized,” Zarelli said. “Everybody’s going to have their pluses and their minuses.” Rep. Ross Hunter, D- Medina, said the budget came together in a series of meetings that went late into the night. It was a daunting task, as all sides tried to cut billions in spending without causing too much damage, he said. “We had a couple of moments where things were a little testy,” Hunter said. Of all the parties involved, House Republicans emerged as least supportive of the plan. DeBolt said many of his members were con- cerned by some of the cuts to school spending — although he didn’t offer specifics on the compro- mise. “I don’t see them getting a lot of votes on it,” DeBolt said.
