Is it too hard to fund new school construction ?

Rep. Kathy Haigh, D-Shelton, Washington, has introduced a bill to reduce the constitutional requirement that 60 percent of the voters must approve a bond in school district elections. She wants to shrink that to a simple majority.  Haigh said: "I think our kids should be in as nice a building as we are sitting in right here" (in the House's office and hearing rooms building in Olympia).
