Budget deficit may mean protecting, not expanding, substance abuse treatment programs

(The Center Square) – A prominent state senator indicated that fiscal reality could mean prioritizing and protecting substance abuse recovery programs that are already working over any plans to expand them. Washington state is facing a projected operating budget deficit of between $10 billion and $16 billion over the next four years. “I want to be realistic, but I am also optimistic and have faith in my fellow legislators and for me, success really means that we are protecting the programs that are already in play,” Sen. Manka Dhingra, D-Redmond, said at a Monday morning virtual meeting of the Substance Use Recovery Services Advisory Committee, or SURSAC, that included legislative priorities for the upcoming session. “I’m not optimistic enough to talk about expansion.”

Reader is voting for Mick Hansen

In last week's paper I read that the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District directors extended Mr. Carpenter's contract for another five years. The first strange thing in this that his current contract does not expire for another three years! They not only extended it, but gave him quite a substantial raise to manage six or seven seasonal employees. The comment was that he hasn't received a raise in two or three years. Who has? With the economy the way it is, most people are thankful to just have a job. This pay range - $100,000 plus benefits now puts him in the same range as somebody running an entire government sector, managing hundreds of employees and responsible for millions of dollars in budget.
