Inslee reveals equity plan as part of 21-23 state budget

December 15, 2020 Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is proposing $365 million in investments aimed at addressing racial injustice issues, calling it a “historic commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.” The announcement comes as the state faces a potential $3 billion revenue shortfall over the next few years because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Inslee discussed his equity plan Monday, during a news conference from Olympia. The governor didn’t identify any specific revenue sources to pay for these initiatives. Instead, they’ll be part of his 2021-23 budget recommendations, which will be released over the coming week, before the start of the 2021 legislative session.

He allocated an additional $2.5 million to the Washington Equity Office. This office is tasked with creating a five-year equity plan for the state, as well as consulting with existing departments to create their own equity plans.
