Jim and Dan are joined by Seattle Times real-estate reporter Mike Rosenberg, who breaks down the city's unprecedented apartment-construction boom. Then Jim talks with state Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, who pans Gov. Jay Inslee's proposed tax increases to fund public schools as laughable. Daniel Zavala with the League of Education Voters joins the podcast to talk through what the Legislature must accomplish this session to finally end a contempt order on schools funding.
