Democrats in Olympia have some big spending ideas, and they want to let you do some tax-free spending later this year. It’s all part of their proposed updates to the state’s two-year budget. Details were released Monday.

Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins joined KNKX Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick to talk about the proposals — and a little bit about the lifting of the state mask mandate.

Kirsten Kendrick hosts Morning Edition on KNKX and the sports interview series "Going Deep," talking with folks tied to sports in our region about what drives them — as professionals and people.
