Governor-elect Ferguson calls for $4 billion in state cuts to offset budget shortfall

Governor-elect Bob Ferguson said Thursday he is calling for a 6% across-the-board spending cut from Washington state agencies on his first day in office, a move that will save $4.4 billion. Ferguson said the move will not impact education or public safety, but he is asking other agencies to identify immediate changes. “We are not going to tax our way out of this,” Ferguson said in a briefing with reporters in Olympia Thursday. Ferguson also noted he has expressed skepticism with a proposal by outgoing Gov. Jay Inslee for a new wealth tax. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/gover... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Видео   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
