Whatever with that draconian all-cuts budget from December. Now comes the nicer, cuts + new revenue budget that Governor Christine Gregoire spoke about in broad strokes earlier today.

Details of this new budget, which the governor describes as more humane, are now out.

Read them and weep/cheer/fume here and here and here.

Her basic math for dealing with Washington's $2.6 billion budget shortfall stays the same as we described earlier:

$1 billion in cuts + $750 in revenue increases + $850 million in fund transfers = $2.6 billion.

What's being detailed now are some of the programs that won't be cut—or, to put it another way, programs that will be "restored" after having been hypothetically cut in Gregoire's hypothetical December budget:

- Levy equalization, which provides extra support to school districts with a lower than average property tax base ($165 million)

- State Basic Health Plan, which provides health care coverage to nearly 65,000 low- income people ($160.5 million)

- State Need Grant program, where grant amounts for qualified students are funded and eligibility is restored for 12,300 college students ($146.4 million)

- A re-designed General Assistance - Unemployable program, which provides grant support for an average of 23,000 adults and medical services to nearly 7,200 adults ($84.5 million)

- All-day kindergarten, gifted student programs and Reading Corps ($42 million)

- Subsidized child care for TANF — or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families — recipients and low-income families ($39.5 million)

And, once again, mindful of the potential backlash that raising revenues (aka taxes) could cause, Gregoire promises:

Any revenue enhancements that I will propose will not hamstring our families and businesses as they recover from the recession.
