More taxes and restriction -- and screw election results.

The Democrats are in a mad dash to pass as many new taxes as they can, despite this week's revenue forecast projecting an additional $1.5 billion in state revenue.

The state Economic and Revenue Forecast Council revealed tax collections will increase by about $606 million above previous projections. That is a total of $1.5 BILLION more in available revenue since the last legislative session.

Despite these increases, state Democrats already raised $1 BILLION in new taxes on businesses and appear determined to raise more taxes by the end of the 2020 legislative session. The Democrats greed is insatiable.

Democrats vote down $30 car tab legislation

Despite the election results on $30 car tabs (The people voted it into law) the Democrats judge-shopped, and had the election results thrown out.  The Democrats clearly do not care about democratic election results.

Now, Republican Senator Steve O’Ban’s $30 car tab measure failed on the Senate floor. O’Ban joined KTTH’s Jason Rantz to discuss Democrats voting down his bill and future expectations for a $30 car tab.

O’Ban, calling the results “very disappointing,” compared Democrats’ actions to those taken when then-Governor Gary Locke called an emergency session and worked with Republicans and Democrats to enact a voter-approved $30 car tab which had been struck down by a King County judge.

In those days, the Democrats were concerned with abiding by the will of the voters – a perspective that does not exist today.

Bill to restore felons’ voting rights before sentence completion dies abruptly

Democrats’ legislation to restore the voting rights of convicted felons abruptly died during debate on the Senate floor. Senate Democrats, realizing they did not have the 25 votes needed to pass the measure, ended debate on their bill.

The Democrats’ controversial bill would have restored voting rights to felons before they completed their sentences. Democrat Sen. Patty Kuderer – the bill’s sponsor – is already vowing to re-introduce the bill again next year.

Senate Democrats want to make life harder for drivers across Washington State

If passed, Senate Bill 6586 would impose a mileage tax on electric, hybrid, and state-owned fleets by December 1, 2021. The Washington State Transportation Commission and state Department of Licensing (DOL) would implement the tax, a responsibility that would lead to a hike in administrative costs.
