After breach, Washington governor s residence to get security upgrades

KUOW - After breach, Washington governor s residence to get security upgrades

After breach, Washington governor’s residence to get security upgrades The state of Washington will beef up security around the governor’s executive residence following a major breach of security on January 6, the same day a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Money for the upgrades is included in the state’s next two-year capital construction budget which the state Senate approved Friday. The budget includes $1.9 million to improve the fencing, gates and bollards surrounding the residence. Another $2 million will be spent to improve the video surveillance and lighting in the area. “Both parties came to the conclusion that we needed to have some upgrades to the governor’s mansion security,” said Democratic state Sen. David Frockt, the lead capital budget writer in the Washington Senate.

Senate and House to enter negotiations on capital gains tax

Senate and House to enter negotiations on capital gains tax Follow Us Question of the Day     By - Associated Press - Thursday, April 22, 2021 OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Washington Senate on Thursday refused to concur with changes the House made to a measure to create a new tax on capital gains, which means lawmakers from each chamber will start negotiations to see if they can reach a deal before the legislative session ends Sunday. Part of the changes that the Senate rejected was language added by a House committee that says the tax is necessary “for the support of state government and its existing public institutions” - which essentially blocks a voter referendum at the ballot. The version that narrowly passed the Democratic-led Senate last month included an amendment that removed an emergency clause on the bill, which also would have prevented a referendum.
