State revenue forecast portends bad environmental news – Bellingham Herald

Look out below. With more bad news, we are in for what is likely to be massive cuts in environmental monitoring and enforcement. At this rate, we’ll all be Libertarians without even needing to join Ron Paul’s party. But, to be clear, some of the state budgets, need to be compared to 10 years ago. I looked at the Governor’s budget back in the spring, and the cuts hadn’t even taken her back to the middle of the last decade. Not sure what I missed in reading that. But that’s the kind of analysis I’d like to see someone do in depth. Where we are now, and what we funded 10 or 20 years back.
