Failure to pass capital budget puts Kitsap projects on hold - Christian Vosler, Kitap Sun

Several construction projects in Kitsap may be delayed after state lawmakers adjourned their third overtime session last week without passing a capital budget. Renovations to Bremerton’s Manette Playfield, repairs to the breakwater at the Port Orchard Marina, and a new building for the Holly Ridge Center are some of the projects that could be stalled without state funding. Legislators failed to pass the $4 billion construction budget — which provides funds for things like university buildings, parks, low-income housing and local infrastructure projects — after disputes over a bill that would overturn a state Supreme Court decision on water rights. http://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/politics/2017/07/27/failure-pass-capital-budget-puts-kitsap-projects-hold/515092001/
