In the proclamation calling for a special session, the governor has opened it back up to policy bills as well as budget bills. Therefore 1044 and all the other bills we hoped were dead  Hopefully the Senate leadership will stick to the budget.

Answer for special session. May13. Hopefully time for Rep. Freeman to get treatment.

Might have a transportation budget. Not  necessarily a good one, but a budget. Just tomorrow and Sunday of this session.

From now through Sunday there will be posturing, but everyone is resigned to a special session. Pray that behind the scenes some real progress is being made.

URGENT
Governor Inslee is prepared to call a special session for social legislation. The DUI bill was mentioned, but 1044 is one of his pets. NOOOOOO

The new House leadership may not be finalized until after session. That means Joel Kretz is acting head. Pray for wisdom on the budget. Pray for focus on the job ahead and not the political maneuvering between the wings of the Republican Party.
We need for the truth to be discerned regarding the true purpose, true cost, etc. of items in the budgets.  I have seen things regarding the transportation budget, but not the capital or operating budgets. We need to watch that things are not  added as amendments that have nothing to do with the rest of the bill just to get pet items pasted, pet people paid off, etc.
This is an intense time.

Last week of session. This does include next weekend.
Pray that they get everything done and there is no extra session.
Pray for honest, prudent budget - funding godly things and defunding ungodly.
Pray for the legislator, staff, families, health, businesses, etc.
Pray for the new leadership in the House.
