Lawmakers adjourned without creating a new funding stream for public defense, while a state supreme court mandate is expected to dramatically increase the cost. Thurston County's public defense director joins the executive director of the Washington State Association of Counties to weigh in on funding needs and uncertainties. Thanks to TVW for sharing this show. This and other TVW shows may be streamed by going to TVW.org.
