 NO MORE HARM! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Demand grows for revenue,
closing tax loopholes to
counter all-cuts budget
It’s time to send a message to legislators
to support Book 2 budget alternative
Now that the governor has unveiled her brutal
but required “all-cuts” supplemental budget plan,
all eyes are on her promised alternative budget that
would consider generating revenue and closing tax
loopholes to avoid the kinds of drastic cuts seen
earlier this year.
As it is, the “Book 1” plan rolled out Dec. 9 is a
budget balanced on the backs of quality services and
state employee families.
It’s unacceptable and now WFSE/AFSCME
members have to fight for an alternative budget that
generates new revenue, closes some of the tens of bil-
lions in tax loopholes and asks members on the front
lines common sense ways to save money.
Right after the governor announced her budget,
the WFSE/AFSCME-supported Rebuilding Our
Economic Future Coalition held a press conference to
publicly oppose the supplemental spending plan.
Even the governor admits it’s an unacceptable
budget and she will propose a “Book 2” budget once WFSE/AFSCME members once again plan a constant presence at the Capitol. These DSHS members gathered Dec. 10.

budget?
So, here is where we
stand in the “Book 1” all-
cuts budget unveiled by the
governor Dec. 9:
• A cut of 1,527 state employee
positions, of which about 40
percent would be represent-
ed by WFSE/AFSCME.
• Cuts to your health benefits.
Your current 12 percent
of premium costs would
remain, but with less money
going into overall funding,
you’d pay 12 percent of
higher costs. Also, the gov-
higher deductibles, office visit
fees and other point-of-service
costs in 2011.
• Closing Frances Haddon Morgan
Center in Bremerton by 2011,
and closing Rainier School in
Buckley by 2014 - with one
cottage at Rainier closing this
biennium. In Developmental
Disabilities, there would be
an expansion of the successful
State-Operated Living Alter-
native (SOLA) program, but
not enough to offset reduc-
tions in the residential habili-
tation center program.
• Closing Ahtanum View Correc-
tions Center in Yakima, which
cares for elderly and seriously
ill inmates, and closing Pine
Lodge Corrections Center for
Women in Medical Lake.
• In Juvenile Rehabilitation,
the governor proposes no
institution closures but
instead closures of cottages
and elimination of beds at
Naselle Youth Camp, Maple
Lane School and Green Hill
School. The recent consultants
report warned against any
reductions. Under the gover-
nor’s proposal, Naselle Youth
Camp would be reduced to 53
residents; Maple Lane School
would have one cottage cut;
and Green Hill School would
have two cottages closed. The
budget also assumes lower

 MEMBERS IN ACTION

Ahtanum View members rally

Dozens of Ahtanum View
Corrections Center and Local
1326 members staged a peace-
ful picket at a busy intersec-
tion in Yakima Nov. 30 to
save local jobs and protest the
proposed budget plan to close
the unique facility caring for
elderly and ill inmates.
The next night, the Ya-
kima City Council adopted
a resolution opposing the
closure of Ahtanum View
At an impromptu rally,
Ahtanum View member
David Niles said the move to
close the facility is pennywise
and pound-foolish.
“Introducing these of-
fenders into institutions with
other offenders will create an
environment far less humane
than the model that currently
exists,” Niles said at the gath-
ering at the corner of North
40th and Summitview.
“Ahtanum View Cor-

of dollars to our taxpayers in

replicate at another facility.”
