Washington’s Austerity Budget, Hell Is a CVS Pharmacy, and Building Your Go Bag

Today on City Cast Seattle, we dig into the upcoming ‘cuts-only’ budget from Governor Ferguson and the WA democrats proposing a state-wide payroll tax instead. Contributor Hannah Krieg explains what’s up with the austerity and the possible legislation providing alternatives. Plus, producer Liam rants about the experience of having to press a button to buy basics like shampoo in stores and helps Jane get through her block on building an emergency go bag.
