Tell Legislators to Finish the Job! Save Long-Term Care!
Thursday, April 8
Home care hours, health insurance for home care workers, nursing home funding, and Adult Day Health services. Governor Chris Gregoire has a reasonable budget compromise that will help fund these and other essential services. The House and Senate just need to vote on the package and finish the job.

After weeks of intense negotiations, the state House and the Senate leadership have agreed to a compromise budget proposal that will prevent devastating cuts to education, health care and other essential services - including long-term care.
Industry lobbyists are already doing everything they can to torpedo this compromise during the final days of the "special" session.

We have just a few days to pass this proposal. Legislators are already hearing from anti-tax extremists and special interest lobbyists. We need to make our voices heard today!
The funding package would close corporate tax loopholes and raise targeted taxes on cigarettes, soda and beer. It's better to pay a few cents more for a can of beer than cut home care hours or health insurance, wouldn't you agree?
