MEMORANDUM REGARDING
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS
FROM:
Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action
Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raisedn
concerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This session
is no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the following
statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters.
At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the Public
Disclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee to report
contact with legislators.
A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her own
legislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a constituent
and/or citizen is not oblicated to report that contact.
The only obligation an employee has to report contact with indivudal legislators
may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an official matter where
the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employing agency and on official agency matters, or where a legislator contacts an employee under the circumstances. Where an employee has contact with legislators under these circumstances the employee should check with his/her supervisor on any reporting
requirements.
It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employed by
the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators or other
legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/her concerns
or opinions on legislative matters.
We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on your own
time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be from your personal phone. Emails should be from personal devices.
I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional information, please
free free to give me a call at 800-562-6002.

BUDGET OVERVIEW
The primary task of the 2016 Legislative Session is to adopt a supplemental budget for the 2015-17 biennium. The supplemental budget is intended to make necessary changes to the 2015-17 biennium in
response to growth in caseloads, enrollments, additional costs required to maintain existing services,
and respond to emergencies. Major changes are uncommon.
The Governors supplemental budget proposes an additional $520.5 million in new spending. Of that,
$150 million is needed to pay for the massive fires we had this past summer. Another $180 million is
needed to cover rising Medicaid caseloads and health care costs. DOC costs have increased $23 million, and other caseload and cost increases are about $63 million. Beyond that, the Governor makes a
few new targeted investments. 1
It should be noted that the states structural budget deficit remains a significant problem. Since the
Legislature adjourned last June, revenue projections have increased by $245 million while the cost of
maintaining existing programs increased by $700 million. 2
We arent expecting a big fight over the supplemental budget. However, we are expecting a major
budget battle during the 2017 Legislative Session as lawmakers craft the 2017-19 budget. Several fiscal problems will converge next year, making the task of writing a biennial budget much harder:
The costs to provide existing state services are growing faster than tax collections, resulting in a
structural budget deficit for the state.
The Legislature is mandated by the Supreme Court to significantly increase K-12 education
funding by 2018 in what is known as the McCleary decision.
Last November voters approved Initiative 1366, which has the potential of reducing state sales
tax collections by almost $1.4 billion a year.
We anticipate a tremendous amount of political pressure to further cut state spending in areas other
than K-12 education (general government and higher education) next year. Even after billions of dollars in cuts during the Great Recession, and in spite of inadequate funding levels for most programs as
it is, we could be looking at more reductions in the near future.
THE STRUCTURAL BUDGET DEFICIT
In its November 2015 report, Economic and Revenue Forecast Council (ERFC) increased revenue
projections for the current budget cycle (2015-17) by just over $100 million above its September
forecast.3 ERFC now estimates the states current $38 billion budget will end with a surplus of $350
million. 4
However, costs to the state are growing faster than revenue. 5 ERFC is now projecting $500 million
deficit in the 2017-19 biennium. 6
Although Washington state tax collections are growing (slowly), total per capita revenue remains far

BUDGET OVERVIEW
below pre-recession levels. 7 Personal income in Washington State is higher than the national average,
and expected to grow even more in the future. However, state revenue has been declining as a share
of personal income for more than 20 years.8
In 1995, state and local revenue collections were equal to 6.6% of total personal income. By 2014 that rate
had dropped to 4.9% -- and this downward trend is expected to continue in the future. 9 In fact, Washington
State has fallen to 35th in the nation in terms of tax collections as a share of personal income. 10
Washingtons tax system what we tax and what we dont tax simply isnt capable of meeting the
states needs any more. 11 Washington is a wealthy state, but we dont tax wealth. Instead, we rely
on the sales tax as our biggest source of revenue. 12 However, the sales tax only applies to goods, not
services, and the purchase of goods is a declining share of todays service-based economy. 13
Over-reliance on a sales tax limited only to the purchase of goods is a major reason why studies have
shown that Washington has the most regressive tax system in the nation. 14
There are other significant structural problems with our states tax system. 15 Over the past 100 years
the state has enacted well over 600 tax loopholes worth billions of dollars. 16 As a result, small and
marginal businesses pay far more in business taxes than do large, profitable corporations. 17 Further,
hundreds of millions in sales tax revenue is lost to online shopping,18 and the Legislature enacted an
arbitrary 1% cap on property tax growth that fails to keep up with inflation. 19
At the same time state tax collections as a percent of the overall economy are declining, costs for vital
public services are growing. 20 Further, those costs will grow exponentially as demographic shifts
toward an aging population result in even greater demands for health care and public services in the
future. 21
The result is the state of Washington has a structural budget deficit that will only be resolved by increasing revenue and/or permanently reducing state spending. We will remain in a state of perpetual
austerity, with budget battles in the Legislature every year, until our structural budget deficit is resolved. 22

BUDGET OVERVIEW
THE IMPACT OF THE McCLEARY DECISION
The McCleary case refers to a lawsuit originally filed in 2007, by the Network of Excellence in Washington Schools on behalf of the McCleary and Venema families, arguing the state was failing in its constitutional duty to fully fund K-12 education. 23 A trial was held in King County Superior Court in 2009.
In response, the Legislature adopted HB 2261 in 2009 that redefined basic education and set a deadline
of full implementation by 2018. 24 Despite passage of this legislation, the Superior Court ruled against
the state in 2009, the state appealed, and in 2012 the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs
and ordered the Legislature to comply with HB 2261 and meet its constitutional duty by 2018. 25
While the Legislature has significantly increased K-12 education spending in recent sessions, they
have been unable to agree on a plan to fully fund all of the requirements of the law. As a result, the
Supreme Court found the Legislature in contempt and issued fines to the state of $100,000 a day until
compliance is achieved. 26 The fine itself isnt a problem for the state financially, but the cost of fully
implementing HB 2261 could be as much as $5 billion. 27
Currently there is no consensus in the Legislature on how to come up with the funding necessary to
comply with the court order. 28 The challenge in front of the Legislature is complex and controversial
and very expensive. 29
THE THREAT OF INITIATIVE 1366
I-1366 was the latest ballot measure from professional initiative-promoter Tim Eyman. 30 This initiative, will decrease the state sales tax by one cent (from 6.5% down to 5.5%) unless Legislature votes
to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would permanently and forever require a 2/3 vote
of Legislature to raise taxes or close loopholes. 31
Eyman has run initiatives to require a 2/3 vote of the Legislature to raise taxes or close loopholes four
times in the past, and those initiatives were adopted by voters in 2007, 2010, and 2012.32 The effect
was pronounced as the 2/3 vote requirement made it unfeasible for the Legislature to raise taxes during the Great Recession. Finally, in 2013, the state Supreme Court put an end to the issue by declaring
the 2/3 requirement to be unconstitutional. 33
The Courts ruling was premised on the notion that the state Constitution could not be amended by
initiative or by statute. Instead, according the Article XXIII, amendments to the state Constitution can
only happen if 2/3 of the Legislature votes to put the amendment on the ballot and it is then ratified by

voters.34
I-1366 proposes to work around that problem by forcing the Legislature to either forward Eymans
preferred Constitutional amendment to the ballot or face a massive reduction in state revenue. 1-1366
was adopted this past November with 51.5% of the vote. 35 The state would lose $8 billion over six
years if the sales tax decrease contained in I-1366 were to go into effect. 36
WHAT WE ARE DOING
Ongoing fiscal austerity has been harmful to all working families. Public sector and educator jobs
have been lost, public works construction funds have been diverted to other purposes, and vital services have been slashed. Our economy and our communities will continue to suffer until the state of
Washington creates a sustainable revenue system capable of keeping up with the demand for services.
WFSE supports the new revenue necessary to stabilize the state budget and end the states perpetual
budget crisis. Fixing the structural budget deficit is a priority for WFSEs lobbying and political education efforts.
WFSE opposes proposals that make the structural budget worse such as revenue reductions or the
creation of new tax loopholes at least until the states structural budget deficit is resolved.
WFSE will lead the fight politically, by supporting legislation and candidates that support a fair revenue solution that lessens the regressive nature of our tax system and moves our state toward an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.
WFSE will educate members about the regressive, outdated nature of Washingtons tax system, identify working family-friendly ways to fix the problem, and engage members in work that supports a
solution.
WFSE will work in coalition with other unions, community organizations and partners providing financial, messaging, and tactical support to build as broad a movement as possible for a fair, sustainable revenue system voters.
I-1366 proposes to work around that problem by forcing the Legislature to either forward Eymans

MEMBER LOBBYING
Tips for Meeting with Lawmakers

1. Prepare for the meeting
Decide what to share and what you want your lawmaker to do.
Learn about your elected official by reading biographies and
what positions s/he has taken on key issues.
2. Start by introducing yourself
Say who you are, where youre from, and what organization
youre with. If your lawmaker has done something positive on
your issue, this is a good time to say thank you.
3. Be sure your message is short and concise
Most meetings with elected officials are short anywhere from 5
to 15 minutes, depending on their schedule. Before your meeting,
prepare a few key points from key messages on your issue and
from your own experience.
4. Practice
Its always worth the time to practice what you are going to say.
If you are meeting as a group, practice together so you can use
your time wisely and each play a role.
5. Talk about what you know
You might get asked questions that you dont know the answer
to. Its ok to say you dont know. Answer what you do know and
offer to get more information and follow up.

TEN QUICK TIPS

6. Make a clear request
Ask for a specific commitment, dont just ask for support.
7. Listen
You can learn whats important to your elected official, how s/
he makes decisions, and what questions s/he has. It helps build a
relationship and makes you a more effective advocate.
8. Leave information behind
Its good to leave a one-page fact sheet on your issue. Be sure it
has your contact information.
9. Meet with office staff
If your lawmaker isnt available, its very useful to meet with the
staff. Office staff will convey your message.
10. Follow up
Send an email or call the office and thank them for their time. Be
sure to restate your concerns and request, provided any additional information, and ask for follow up.

WHAT IS AFSCME PEOPLE?

It stands for Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality. Its our unions
Political Action Committee, funded entirely by members voluntary contributions.
JOIN AFSCME PEOPLE TODAY!
Across the country, public services and public service workers are under attack. The battles
we face show us whats at stake. Our wages, our benefits, our working conditions, and our
jobs hang in the balance.
Political action is the only way to make sure corporate-backed politicians cant break us.
Political action means registering voters, getting on phones, knocking on doors and lobbying
policymakers. It means rallying, campaigning and making sure that all working families get
a fair shot. It means electing candidates who care about our struggle. And it means holding
them accountable once theyre in office.
WHY DO WE NEED AFSCME PEOPLE?
Politics is part of who we are as AFSCME and AFSCME PEOPLE is our lifeline. Federal
election law and some state laws prohibit using dues for campaign contributions. AFSCME
PEOPLE enables our union to be strong politically and helps enact legislative programs that
protect the vital jobs we perform for our communities.
Through PEOPLE we help elect candidates who stand for what matters to AFSCME members:
Strong contracts
No outsourcing
Affordable health care
Retirement security
No cuts to vital public services
HOW DO I BECOME A PEOPLE MVP?
You can become an AFSCME PEOPLE MVP by giving $5 a paycheck. You just sign a card
authorizing your employer to deduct a specific amount of money as your voluntary PEOPLE
contribution. Payroll deduction is the easiest, most reliable and most important source of
PEOPLE funds.
WITH YOUR CONTRIBUTION AFSCME PEOPLE MAKES SURE WE CAN KEEP ON
FIGHTING UNTIL WE WIN JUSTICE FOR EVERY WORKER, EVERYWHERE!
