State Transportation Plan Passed

The state Legislature last night passed an updated state transportation budget that will reportedly pay for thousands of construction jobs. The $8.5 billion plan passed the Senate on a 37-11 vote and now goes to Gov. Chris Gregoire for final approval.

The supplemental budget plan is about $1 billion more than last year’s budget. The additional money comes mostly from federal money the state will use to pay for large projects.
