Tell state legislators: No more games, just JOBS!

OLYMPIA (March 7) — Amid the state budget drama of the past week and the prospect of an extended special legislative session, one critically important issue — repeatedly cited by voters as their top priority — is being ignored in Olympia: JOBS!

In stark contrast to the harmful all-cuts budgets proposed by both parties — which will not only shred critical social safety nets, they will eliminate public-sector jobs — legislation supported by business and labor to create tens of thousands of private-sector jobs is the 2012 Legislature’s best opportunity to have a positive, proactive impact on Washington’s economy. And yet, lawmakers have so far refused to vote on a plan the (Everett) Herald has called a “smart plan for now and the future” and the (Tacoma) News Tribune says is “ingenuous job creation in hard times.”
