Last week, Governor Gregoire released a list of programs that have been reduced or could be reduced to close the budget shortfall for FY2011.  In addition to across-the-board cuts, fund transfers, and payment delays, the Governor’s proposal would cut education, health, corrections, and other social services funding.

As the Governor says in a letter to legislators, “Another round of across-the-board cuts will not get it done. . . . We need to make sustainable policy and budget decisions that are reflective of current revenue.”
