House Appropriations Chair Timm Ormsby makes one of his semi-regular appearances on Capitol Ideas today. With the supplemental operating budget in the works, this is a timely conversation.

Rep. Timm Ormsby, chair of the budget-writing House Appropriations Committee, has been one of the Olympia voices for Spokane’s 3rd legislative district for longer than Capitol Ideas has been around, and over the years he’s become a favorite guest. Today he talks about the budget process, revenue  forecasts, the difference between writing a budget and raising revenue, and the beauty of Spokane.
