Washington State 2010 Supplemental Budget Bottom Line: New Taxes
The budget and taxes dominated Washingtons 2010 legislative agenda. The Democrat-led legislature had to close a $2.8 billion shortfall for the 2009-2011 biennium. Unable to resolve debate on a mixture of program cuts and revenue enhancements, the legislature concluded its 60-day regular session without a budget and tax package. At the end of a 30-day special session, the legislature enacted a budget that filled the gap through a combination of new taxes, the cancelation of some tax incentives, spending cuts, and federal aid.
