The first reports are in of the challenge Washington Democrats face with their strengthened majorities in Olympia.
Democrats likely have a 31-18 seat majority in the state Senate and a 62-36 split in the state House. The danger is that they will raise taxes and increase spending, courting a backlash against Gov. Chris Gregoire in 2008. From The Seattle Times:
The wish list that interest groups want Democrats to deliver next year includes salary increases for teachers and state workers, better access to health care, a boost in funding for public schools, paid family leave and a ban on a toxic flame retardant present in televisions, computers and other consumer products.
