Today’s budget better prepares us for what’s ahead. We are taking the steps necessary to best serve the people of Washington now and in the future. As always - Stay home. Stay healthy. #WeGotThisWA 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

There is good news. We’re still making new investments in: ➡️ housing ➡️ public health ➡️ our most vulnerable populations ➡️ the overall safety net – a net many have accessed for the first time during this pandemic Thanks to the Legislature for acting on these priorities. 4/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Let me be clear: there are many good policies that would have made our state stronger. That includes bills I personally requested and fought for. But Washingtonians are making hard choices to protect our state as we speak. We in leadership positions must do the same. 3/5 — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 has caused financial pain to Washingtonians. That includes lost revenue for the state. So today, I’m vetoing 147 separate expenditure items. It will reduce state spending by $445 million over the next three years. 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today, I’m signing the 2020 supplemental operating budget. Legislators and many others put in a huge amount of work to pass good policies and smart investments. Under normal circumstances, I would not veto that work. However, these are not normal times. 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Food banks are in high demand right now. They are also running low on supplies. If you can, please donate to orgs like @FoodLifeline, @SecondHarvest_ and @NWHarvest, who supply food banks across the state. #WeGotThisWA — PolitiTweet.org

The @WANationalGuard is here to help WA during the COVID-19 crisis. This morning, they packaged and delivered food to ensure Washingtonians have enough to eat. I'm grateful for their service. #WeGotThisWA https://t.co/n7BlQIi2u3 — PolitiTweet.org

We do not accept preventable death in Washington. Thanks to the commitment of individuals, families, business, labor and communities across the state, we are setting the bar and saving lives. We are with you every step of the way. #WeGotThisWA 7/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

This order does not add any additional restrictions. It is simply an extension of the stay home order we put in place last week. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

The only way to return to our way of life and rebuild our economy in WA is to defeat this virus. That is why we must continue to stay home and stay healthy. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I have used my emergency powers to: ➡️ increase unemployment insurance access ➡️ prohibit evictions for not paying rent ➡️ provide utility ratepayer assistance ➡️ make tax payment flexible And we will work to ease the burden this has caused. 4/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I do not make this decision lightly. Through no fault of their own, more Washingtonians will be in a financially-perilous position because of it. We must find ways to support them. 3/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Here’s why we’re doing this: The steps we have taken are working. But we have yet to see the full toll of this virus. We will not sacrifice the lives of Washingtonians by ending these measures too soon. 2/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Washingtonians: thank you for staying home. I’m proud of our efforts as a state. But we have an obligation to ourselves and our loved ones to recognize the hard road ahead So tonight I’m extending the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order for one month. 1/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Dear Joey’s parents: For the health and safety of us all, it’s not a great idea for Joey to visit for Easter. Dear Joey: Call/text/video chat your parents regularly to make sure they’re doing ok. Especially on Easter. — PolitiTweet.org

We are asking health care workers and first responders to save the lives of COVID-19 patients. The least we can do is make sure they have PPE to stay safe. WA businesses are stepping up to produce them. But we need a national effort. We need the Defense Production Act. @maddow — PolitiTweet.org
