• Republican proposes fix to employees 'double dipping' taxpayer-subsidized leave (blackchronicle.com) — A Puyallup-based state senator, Chris Gildon, is pushing a bill to stop public employees from “double dipping” by collecting full paid time off plus state family leave benefits at once. His proposal, part of Republican efforts to close a looming deficit without new broad taxes, would cap combined benefits at a worker’s normal pay and could affect thousands of state employees.
