When democrats control the house, senate, and governor. All that's needed is a simple majority in both houses. Now the taxpayers get to pay for a special session of the legislature.
They did get the important stuff done though, like gay marriage.

To raise revenue too? Usually that's the sticking point.

None of the budgets proposed would require a super majority.

Wiki says you need 66% to raise revenues. You seem to be using weasel words again.

Yes, the point is that nobody is proposing that taxes be raised. Not even democrats. ;p

I find that unlikely. They may not call it taxes but I'm sure they want to raise some fees here and there.

I'm not sure how else to say this.. There are several democratic budget proposals, none of which require more than a simple majority to pass. They aren't attempting to raise taxes.

Do the democrats have 66% in both houses?

Democrats are very good at the blame game. Conservatives are set to a higher standard. Yes, not all Republicans are Conservatives but no Democrat is.

As in your other thread, Gallup poll disagrees. Under the heading Party-Based Ideology you can find that 22% of Democrats are self-identified as conservative.

Dirty republican tricks...
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2017703964_legislature09m.html
Senate republicans had the audacity to write a budget that got a few democrat votes. Of course, the house will have NOTHING to do with a republican budget, even when they can't pass their own in the senate.
