In Olympia the majority party has just announced this special session will likely last more than a week. Senator Ed Murray, chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, made several comments to the press about this speaking fluent "Democrat". No worries, I'll translate for you:
"We are in an unprecedented economic crisis," .
Translation: We spent way more money than we've taken from you...yet.
"Sixty days and probably 67 days is not going to be enough to solve this problem."
Translation: We're going to need more time to figure out how to take more of your money.
"The thorniest issues really are about revenue. That's sort of, what I would say, the major sticking point."
Translation: The word "revenue" used by any Democrat is always to be translated "taxes" or "other people's money".
Murray said general agreement has been reached on an $800 million revenue package but "there is not agreement over the pieces."
Translation: It's really quite difficult for us to decide what "pieces" of your money to take.
Never forget, YOU are the only "revenue" they have.
