T.S. Eliot was right.  April is the cruelest month.  At least it is for Washington lawmakers.  They're struggling to wrap up a special session in Olympia to close a nearly $3 billion budget gap.

Meanwhile, candidates are maneuvering for position in the Oregon Governor's race.  And a new survey throws a cold April shower on the hot debate over Oregon's tax structure.

Bill Lunch, OPB's Political Analyst, is at the OSU Media Center.

Jeff Mapes, the senior political reporter for The Oregonian is on the line.
