Here's a side-by-side comparison of the three revenue plans proposed by the Governor, Senate Ways and Means Chair, and House Finance Chair.

The House proposal today ($758 million) is roughly the same size as what the Governor proposed previously ($759 million). In total, Senate would raise the most money ($918 million).

All three would help preserve important education and health care programs, but to varying degrees, all three would still require deep cuts that will impact Washingtonians. For more details on the cuts contained in each proposal, see here.

As we've noted, even under the Senate proposal, revenue would only account for 10 percent of the total solution to the $11.8 billion deficit.
