Hey, I'm Katie Campbell, host of Meet Me Here, KUOWW's Arts and Culture podcast. You've probably

heard you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Well, I disagree. On the latest episode, I talk to a

cover designer whose job it is to catch your attention. You'll hear about all the work that goes into

it. Plus, we'll critique the covers of

some of last year's most popular books. Listen to meet me here on the KUOW app or wherever you get your

podcasts.

Good afternoon. From the KUOW Newsroom, this is Seattle now. I'm Paige Browning. Lawmakers pulled an all-nighter and a blizzard's coming in. Here's a roundup of today's top stories. It's a big Tuesday, Newsday, March 10th. It has not been an average day at the state capital. Lawmakers have barely slept catching shut-eye wherever they

could today as debate reaches a climax over proposed income tax. State government reporter Sarah

Meises Tan is following as the House gets closer to voting. Lawmakers are sleeping an hour-long

shifts in between votes on proposed amendments, but none have left the legislative building since Monday. As of noon today, bill sponsor Representative April Berg was predicting

debate would go on for many more hours.

We have 118. We have about 17-18 amendments left, plus final passage. So we're looking at another

longish night.

Berg and other Democrats say there's an urgent need for revenue from this income tax.

Republicans say it's too volatile to stabilize the state's budget and will kill businesses.

They've proposed exemptions.

Democrats have mostly said no, but have adopted some for libraries and tribal income.

Legislators still have to approve a supplemental

budget and vote on a handful of other bills before the session ends Thursday. In Olympia, I'm Sarah

Myzes Tan. By the way, the vote could happen tonight, so we'll bring you updates tomorrow.

We have more to tell you about what new laws could come to pass, but want to prep you first for the oncoming blizzard.

Wintery weather could dump as much as 10 feet of snow in parts of the cascades this week.
