Gov ‘rejects’ latest Dem budget proposal

(OLYMPIA, Wash.) – Governor Bob Ferguson has said ‘no’ to the latest package of tax hikes proposed by legislative Democrats.

Now, the fine points of the state budget are being worked out with just a little over a week before lawmakers finish their work.

PLUS: President Trump suggests deporting American citizens.

AND: Would you believe there’s an election on Tuesday?

Guests include Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, Paul Queary of the Washington Observer, legal analyst Royal Oakes, and State Department Correspondent Shannon Kingston.
