SUPPORTING, WITH CAVEATS

Democratic Reps. Sandra Romero and Sam Hunt, both of Olympia, are willing to vote for the budget if it is amended to keep state employees' prescription-drug benefits without increases in co-payments.

SUPPORTING

Democratic Rep. Kathy Haigh of Shelton will support the budget because education funding has been increased. Rep. Bill Eickmeyer of Belfair favors passing the Senate budget without changes.
