Bob Ferguson on Budget & Economy

 

 


Invest $1B to repair bridges--without raising taxes

Our transportation infrastructure is in dire need of investment. You know it. I know it. And, trust me on this, the people of our State know it. We have 80 bridges in "poor" condition which means, and I quote, "advanced deficiencies such as section loss, deterioration, or seriously affected structural components." That's why I propose historic investments to take care of our bridges--more than a billion dollars--without raising taxes.

Propose the largest-ever budget investment in housing

My proposed budget, here's that word again, makes a historic investment --$244 million dollars--the largest-ever supplemental budget investment in housing. With those dollars we will build and protect thousands of affordable housing units, make it easier for first-time home buyers to enter the market, and accelerate the process to build housing. We must continue to be bold, and make historic investments in housing--both in policy and in dollars.
