Your Voice Was Heard as Washington State Legislature Chose to Invest in Public Health Services and Programs

The legislature adjourned after a Special Session on April 12, 2010.  Many of you contacted your legislators to remind them how core public health programs are in our state - THANK YOU! Your voices were heard.  Overall, public health fared better than expected, given the over $2 billion deficit that faced the legislature in January.  Legislators imposed taxes on candy, gum, beer and pop, along with closing many tax loopholes and making a number of one-time fixes to support their state budget.

Please join WSPHA in June to debrief the legislative session and plan for 2011.  Stay tuned for more detailed budget analysis.
