Capital budget impasse leads to state employee layoffs - Heather Graf, KING

The University of Washington has about 125 employees whose salaries are funded through the capital budget. The school is currently dipping in to the school's reserve fund to pay those employees and keep them on staff. But if there's still no capital budget by the end of the year, a UW spokesperson said they'll be looking at layoffs as well. The Office of Financial Management says the Department of Corrections and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction would likely be facing layoffs in early 2018 as well, unless a capital budget deal is reached before then. http://www.king5.com/news/politics/capital-budget-impasse-leads-to-state-employee-layoffs/483892415
