Show Notes
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is set to sign a new income tax bill into law, but opponents, led by former Attorney General Rob McKenna, are filing a lawsuit on the same day. The measure, ESSB six three four six, imposes a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million. McKenna argues that Washingtons constitution treats income as property, and progressive income taxes like this have been struck down for nearly a century. The battle is set to heat up in the courts, so stay tuned to see if the new tax stands or is challenged.
