Gov. Chris Gregoire has unveiled a two-year budget plan that uses a mix of cuts to state programs, suspension of voter initiatives and use of the state's "rainy day" reserve to patch a projected $4.6 billion deficit.
Eliminating the state's health insurance program for the poor is on Governor Chris Gregoire's list of proposed budget cuts. Her proposal also includes cuts to education programs benefiting gifted children and financial help for revenue-poor school districts.
