Lawmakers also passed a capital budget over the weekend, but the contentious transportation tax revenue package pushed by House Democrats failed to gain enough support in the Senate before Sine Die. Rep. Paul Harris, R-Vancouver and House Minority Whip issued the following statement on the session: \u201cAfter long negotiations involving members of both chambers and parties, I was pleased to support a solid compromise budget that invests heavily in education and protects the taxpayers of Washington. It includes more than one billion dollars in new investments in K-12, it gets us on track in meeting our education funding goals mandated by the state Supreme Court\u2019s McCleary decision and it does not include tuition increases for the first time in almost three decades. Also, this budget did not contain an approximate $900 million dollars in tax increases proposed in previous budgets by House majority leadership. This could have been very harmful to our employers and economic recovery."}
