House Democrats push home their budget proposal
A $34.5 billion proposed budget passed through the Washington House Friday with little fuss.
The vote was 54-43 along party lines, with Rep. Monica Stonier, D-Vancouver, being the only person to cross the aisle. House Minority Leader Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, was absent.
This sets up probably weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Senate's leaders with their $33.2 billion budget proposal.
