Federal Priorities
Presentation for Renton City Council
Committee of the Whole
Doug Levy
Monday, November 23, 2020
AGENDA ITEM #1. a)
An Uncertain and Unprecedented Year
Lies Ahead
At federal level, a new President, a lack of clarity as to the
composition of the U.S. Senate, and a mission-critical COVID relief
package remains elusive
With the Legislature, the State Capitol Campus will be open only to
authorized employees and legislators –no guests, and certainly no
lobbyists! “In Olympia?” That’s a 2022 thing
Within the region, meetings and discussion via online platforms --
Zoom, Teams, GoToMeeting, WebEx, and Skype --is how we get things
done AGENDA ITEM #1. a)
2021 State Legislature –A Preview
$4.5 billion, 4-year Operating deficit; Transportation Budget $1
billion+ shortfall; holes in broadband system; battered economy;
racial justice/equity and policing reforms on the table; ongoing
challenges around mental health, housing/rental assistance
Composition of State Senate (28-21) and State House (57-41) stays the
same. More Members of Color than ever before. Possible wild card in
the Governor’s Mansion?
Looking for the budget that will be most stimulus-driven, bi-partisan,
and stable? Think 2021-23 Capital Budget
Most of the usual rules don’t apply, these do: 105-day Session,
biennial Operating and Capital and Transportation Budgets must get
done; Governor delivers his budgets by 3rd week of December AGENDA ITEM #1. a)
