Inslee has tall order for lawmakers in special session

Gov. Jay Inslee wants the Legislature to pass a $10 billion transportation-tax package within a week as part of a special session that’s also supposed to extend tax breaks for the aerospace industry, namely Boeing.

But it’s not clear that’s a realistic goal, considering state lawmakers have struggled for months to reach agreement on transportation. Members of the GOP-led majority in the Senate hinted strongly Tuesday that reaching a deal could take longer.
