Washington Research Council Budget Brief Now Online

See it here. And note this:

While Governor Gregoire’s supplemental proposal would put the 2009–11 budget back into balance, the heavy reliance on one-time resources sets the stage for another budget gap in 2011. The Governor has said that she will bring forward in January an alternative supplemental proposal that would tap additional sources of revenue to restore some programs cut in the supplemental proposal released on Wednesday. Simply swapping tax hikes for spending cuts, however, would leave the structural deficit in place and the state on course for crisis in 2011. 

Time to reset and reform.
