State Rep. Ryu proud that budget didn’t cut education
Democratic State Rep. Cindy Ryu says that she’s proud that the state’s supplemental budget adopted at the end of the recent legislative session made no cuts to education.
Ryu represents the 32nd Legislative District, which now includes Woodway, south Edmonds, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and part of Kirkland. With the coming election, it will still include Woodway, south Edmonds and Shoreline but will add Lynnwood and part of northwest Seattle and no longer include Lake Forest Park, Kenmore or Kirkland.
Here is part of the report that Rep. Ryu sent to constituents last week:
“Thanks to the many hundreds of you who either e-mailed or called my office, there are no cuts to K-12 and higher education. The budget also reflects the feedback from you requesting that the legislature protect our vulnerable citizens by maintaining funding for important safety net programs, including the Basic Health Plan, Disability Lifeline, and family planning grants.
“The capital budget/Jobs Now Act fosters prosperity and invests in our future. The Jobs Now Act is anticipated to generate over 22,000 jobs statewide, funding construction investments that are essential for the long-term prosperity of our communities and our state.”
