Legislators back at Capitol

Legislators are back at the State Capitol this week for interim legislative assembly.  TVW will be LIVE with various committee hearings Tuesday through Friday — here’s TVW’s air schedule for the week.

The state budget is much on legislators’ minds — two weeks ago on “Inside Olympia” the Governor’s budget office said the 2010 supplemental budget will have a $750-million-to-$1-billion hole to fill.  Several committees will hold budget-related hearings.

But that’s not all.  There’s also a hearing on national health care reform, and college presidents are slated to testify at another hearing on budget challenges at their institutions.  Tuesday marks the first hearing for a new committee, the House Audit Review and Oversight Committee, which will hear from two quality management experts.  Here’s that committee’s homepage.
