Olympia's gun ban "progress"

"We are hearing a loud and clear NO on this legislative agenda being pushed by the Governor, Attorney General, and their liberal base. We know these restrictions and outright bans will have a greater impact on law-abiding citizens than the individuals who have committed crimes. I will pass along your message to Rep. Goehner but know he is a firm supporter of the 2nd amendment.

"The good news is most of the anti-2nd amendment bills have died this session. It appears there is a little common sense on the other side of the aisle for once.

The Bad News

"The bad news is that Senate Bill 5038, the open carry ban bill, did pass the Senate and is scheduled to be voted on in committee this week. Our office is tracking this bill very closely and Representative Goehner is ready to join other common-sense, pro-constitution colleagues in defending your 2nd amendment rights if it makes it to the House floor."

sincerely,
Rep. Keith  Goehner

Executive Session Scheduled to limit self-defense options on Friday

On Friday, March 19, the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee has scheduled an executive session for a Committee vote on anti-gun legislation, Senate Bill 5038.  NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters are strongly encouraged to contact Committee members and submit testimony in opposition to this extreme measure.  The legislature is in the second to last step of enacting this bill. 

Senate Bill 5038 makes it a crime to openly carry, on the person or in a vehicle, a firearm or other “weapon” if the person is participating in, or attending, or is simply within 250 feet of a “permitted demonstration” in a public place.  Despite permitting individuals to use an area for the exercise of their First Amendment rights, anti-gun legislators want to ban those individuals from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the same permitted space.  The Constitution was not written with gradually disappearing ink where one right is more important than another.  The Second Amendment should not be infringed upon in any capacity, especially where other Constitutional Rights are being freely and openly expressed.

Further,  Senate Bill 5038 makes it a crime to open carry a firearm on Washington State Capitol grounds.  Open carry on the capitol campus during 2A rallies has always been peaceful and without a single incident of violence, however, it will now be banned without reason.

Again, please contact members of the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee and ask them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5038.  Those wishing to submit testimony must do so by 10am PST, tomorrow March 17 by clicking here.​  The site is operated by the NRA.  There is no charge for using it.

More General State Income Tax Was Already In The Works

Washington citizens have heard about SB 5096, an income tax on capital gains.  "Who cares?  5096 would imposed a tax only on sales of more than $250,000 in gains. That will affect on the rich."  Wrong.

The Democrats are organized on their stealth effort to income-tax all of us.   They have a general income tax coming in this session, that if passed will impact all those earning more than $200,000 per year.

HB 1496 will impose a 7 percent tax on Washington capital gains realized from the sale of long-term real estate assets -- say the house you live in right now.

HB 1496 will imposes a 9.9 percent tax on Washington capital gains realized from the sale of everything else.

For sugar coating, HB 1496 directs the proceeds of the tax to the Fair Start for Kids Account (and the State General Fund)

Citizens of Washington State:  Stop the Income Tax.

Restricting Firearms Open Carry Hearing Tuesday March 16th

Update: On Friday, March 19, the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee has scheduled an executive session for a Committee vote on anti-gun legislation, Senate Bill 5038

Senate Bill 5038 has been scheduled for a public hearing in the House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary, at 10:00 AM on March 16th.

This anti-freedom bill prohibits the open carry of firearms and other weapons at, or within 250 feet of, public demonstrations or the state Capitol.

This prohibition applies whether the firearm is on the person or in a vehicle.

ESSB 5038 prohibits the open carry of a firearm or other weapons at or near public demonstrations, the west state capitol grounds, capitol grounds buildings, and other legislative locations. (Bill summary text)

"Public demostrations" would include Seattle's Capitol Hill riots of last Summer when the Seattle Mayor would not let the SPD protect the public.  Imagine that you were trying to get home on Capitol Hill and were only interested in protecting your safety...  you would be forbidden from b.

Democrats’ state income tax on capital gains “about [taxing] all of us”  (Seattle Times)

Senate Democrats passed a state capital gains income tax on a 25-24 vote after more than four hours of debate. Only four Democrats voted no, including Senators Annette Cleveland of Vancouver, Steve Hobbs of Lake Stevens, Mark Mullet of Issaquah, and Tim Sheldon of Potlatch. All Republicans voted no. Democrats rejected more than a dozen Republican amendments to the bill.

If it passes the State House, the capital gains tax will face a costly legal battle. If the tax manages to survive the legal battle, Democrats will most certainly expand its impact over time.

Republican Sen. Brad Hawkins told the Seattle Times, “It’s not about the ultrarich. It’s about all of us. Over time, once this gets implemented and once the court potentially upholds it, then all of the exemptions will over time be whittled away to the point where it does impact all of us.”

Inslee’s announced reopening resembles Senate Republicans’ “Open Safe, Open Now” plan  (SRC)

Jay Inslee announced that Washington would move forward to reopening based on a phased approach, with Phase 3 beginning on March 22.

Phase 3 allows businesses statewide to open at 50 percent capacity, including restaurants and bars. The plan also allows alcohol service to be extended to midnight.

Professional sporting events can also have up to 25 percent capacity at stadiums.

Inslee’s plan echoes much of Senate Republicans’ “Open Safe, Open Now” plan.

“I so appreciate that the governor incorporated many details of our ‘Open Safe, Open Now’ plan for moving to Phase 3 into the plan he announced today. We hoped he was paying attention to our good ideas, even though they came from Republicans. Today’s announcement shows what can happen when all voices are heard. I do wish he had worked with us more directly since collaboration is how we are going to recover fully. But I am very encouraged,” Senate Republican Caucus Chair Ann Rivers, R-La Center, responded.

The News Tribune Editorial Board: “Little appetite among Democrats to challenge Inslee” (News Tribune).

The News Tribune Editorial Board blasted Washington Democrats for failing to advance even one of the many proposals that “sought to put limits on the executive branch’s emergency declarations ranging from 14 days to 30 days, perhaps longer with amendments.”

Given the proposals came after Jay Inslee refused to call the Legislature into a special session during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the bills are timely and proven worthy.

As last Tuesday was the cutoff day to advance bills this legislative session, Democrats have officially killed all the bills that sought to address the issue of emergency powers.

But, as the editorial board put it, “in truth it was never really alive.” The editorial board explains, “The problem is that there’s little appetite among Democrats to challenge Inslee. That’s a shame. Power-sharing between the three branches of government shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”

Sen. Schoesler talks Democrats’ gas tax with KVI Radio’s John Carlson (SRC audio)

Sen. Mark Schoesler joined KVI Radio’s John Carlson to discuss Democrats’ transportation proposals and Governor Jay Inslee’s push to increase the cost of gas.

Democrats are attempting to combine Inslee’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) with a new state transportation package. Schoesler discusses how the LCFS would increase the cost of living for hardworking taxpayers.

The end result is a higher gas tax – increasing costs paid at the pump, costs to heat homes, etc. – without road improvements and minimum positive environmental impact. In the near future, a gas tax levied by a LCFS could reach $1 per gallon.

Senate Republicans have a better plan to pay for transportation improvements across the state – and it does not include any new tax increases. Schoesler argues for phasing in a plan that would take part of the existing sales tax of vehicles and diverting the money from the general fund to the transportation budget.

It’s a commonsense approach.

House arrest to continue for vaccinated citizens

Why does the fully vaccinated person get to go about doing exactly what the unvaccinated person gets to do?  The state appears to recognize no public health advantage to the vaccination.

If someone has been fully vaccinated, according to our governor and bureaucracy, they can:

• Gather indoors with fully vaccinated people in private residences without wearing a mask and,
• Gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household in private residences (for example, visiting with relatives who all live together) without masks, unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. (WA DOH)
  

In other word, continue as if they were not vaccinated....

Why are vaccinated, and therefore presumably immune persons, not free to go about their lives and rebuild Washington state's economy and society? Why still the house arrest?  

Do Gov. Enslee and the Democrats wish to make us prisoners for our own "good"?   Or does this sound like the rationale of the police state -- the state has no basis for arrest, so they use fear to make us not free?

~~~~~~~~~

The state is offering some useful services, although it feels like cover:

Good luck

More about the income tax pending in Olympia

Senate Democrats pass a state income tax  capital gains (Washington Policy Center)

The state Senate voted to impose a capital gains income tax on Washingtonians in a 25-24 vote. All 20 Republicans voted against the bill, only four Democrats joined them in opposing the tax. The state House is expected to approve the tax quickly before sending the bill to Jay Inslee for his signature.

As a response to Democrats’ misleadingly labeling the tax on capital gains as an excise tax, Republicans proposed several amendments seeking to define the tax as a form of income tax. The IRS and every other state revenue department classify a tax on capital gains as an income tax. Washington state’s constitution prohibits a state income tax. Democrats’ capital gains income tax is headed for a lengthy and costly legal battle.

Democrats rely on deeply flawed study to justify state income tax on capital gains  (Economic Sense analysis of ITEP PDF)   

Senate Republican Leader John Braun released an “Economic Sense” report examining a deeply flawed study Democrats are using to justify their state income tax on capital gains plan. The study in question is conducted by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), an organization with a clear agenda.

Tellingly, the ITEP study finds California, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia have the most successful tax codes in the country. The five states ranked lowest – including Washington, Texas, Florida, South Dakota, and Nevada – all lack a personal income tax [so far]. Of course, these five states – as Braun’s report points out – also have “a lower tax burden, rank among the nation’s best in 21st-century job and economic growth, and are ‘destination; states with net millions in positive migration.” 

On the other hand, millions are fleeing the states ITEP praises. But if that isn’t enough, the study does not try to hide its agenda. The study states, “Broad-based personal-income taxes, with few deductions, and highly progressive rates are the ideal. States which lack a personal-income tax are – by virtue of that fact alone – confined to the ‘worst’ tax systems.” By using this study, Democrats are – once again – misleading the public using flawed information.

Seattle Times Editorial Board: Senate Democrats should “slow way down” on capital gains tax  (Seattle Times)

The Seattle Times editorial board called on Senate Democrats to “think twice before voting on a capital-gains tax proposal likely destined for the courtroom.” The editorial slams Democrats for rushing the bill to a floor vote before the release of the latest revenue forecast report and calls on them to “slow way down.” The latest revenue forecast will definitively prove that – contrary to Democrats’ claims – additional revenue from an income tax on capital gains is not needed to balance the state budget.

That also means – contrary to Democrats’ claims – “immediate” action is not needed, and no justification exists to use an “emergency clause to ratchet up the effective date.” As the editorial board puts it, the emergency clause is a “canard” Democrats are using as a “legislative ruse to block a potential citizens’ ballot referendum, not to rush tax dollars to the people.”

The best medicine against an income tax and other abuses of the legislative system is to stop voting for devious and irresponsible Democrats.

Update: On Saturday, Democrats quietly amended out the declaration of emergency in SB 5096.  That means the people can have their referendum on an income tax.  When you find the tax proposal on the ballot, be sure you understand how you wish to vote -- yes can mean no, and no mean yes -- it depends on how confusingly referendum is worded.  The ballot wording will be written by S.A.G Bob Ferguson's office.

Tri-City Editorial Board: “Don’t be fooled” by Democrats’ state income tax attempt  (Tri-City Herald)

The Tri-City Editorial Board has sharp words for Washington Democrats attempting to bypass the public and “lay the foundation for a statewide income tax” via a state capital gains income tax. 

The editorial board also took issue with Democrats declaring their capital gains income tax bill – SB 5096 – an emergency. Of course, it’s not an emergency. The state does not need any added revenue to balance the state budget, thanks to higher-than-expected revenue projections. 

Notably, Democrats’ misleading attempt to categorize their capital gains income tax as an emergency has sinister implications for Washingtonians. As the editorial board writes, “But adding an emergency clause to the bill means it would take effect right away, and citizens wouldn’t be allowed to launch a referendum campaign to overturn it if it’s approved.” 

In other words, Democrats know their plan to sneak in a form of a state income tax is highly unpopular. Washingtonians have struck down every past attempt to pass a state income tax. Rather than respect citizens’ voice, Democrats want to force their plan on the public by taking their voice away.

Yakima Herald-Republic Editorial Board: Democrats must “see reason” on voter-rejected state income tax agenda  (Yakima Herald-Republic)

The Yakima Herald-Republic Editorial Board is calling on “moderate” Democrats in the state Legislature to “see reason, make their objections heard and stop unneeded SB 5096 [the state capital gains income tax] in its tracks.” 

The editorial board reiterated its previous objections to imposing an income tax on capital gains. This includes the fact that – contrary to claims made by Jay Inslee and many state Democrats – a capital gains tax is “by all definitions an income tax” and not an excise tax, as the bill categorizes it. 

As the Washington State constitution does not allow for a state income tax, passage of an income tax on capital gains would “likely lead to a long and costly court fight.” 

Further, contrary to Democrats’ claims, the state budget is not in jeopardy – additional revenue from a state capital gains income tax is not needed. 

Perhaps the most important reason against passing an income tax on capital gains is Washingtonians have already spoken on the matter. Time and time again, voters have “soundly rejected efforts to establish an income tax.” Lawmakers must respect the will of voters.

Republicans release plan to reopen schools, businesses  (WA State Senate Republican Caucus PDF)

State legislative Republicans released their “Open Safe, Open Now” plan this week. Contrary to Democrats’ nonexistent plan for reopening, “Open Safe, Open Now” offers practical solutions to fully reopen every community in Washington for both school and business.

Republicans’ plan ends top-down state mandates and returns decision-making authority to local officials. The plan requires all school districts in Washington to resume in-person instruction and opens all business activity in the state to 50% capacity, with 100% capacity possible within three weeks.

“Open Safe, Open Now” comes as a response to sharply declining COVID-19 case rates and hospitalization rates statewide. Late last month, Jay Inslee said all regions would stay in Phase 2 for “several” weeks.” Referring to the need to reopen schools after nearly a year, Senate Republican Leader John Braun stated, “It’s simply unacceptable that so many of our children have been deprived of so much, not just academically but socially and emotionally… The time has come to give our districts clear direction that they need to bring their students back full-time.”

State Senate passes income tax bill

The Democrats' SB 5096 passed the State Senate today, March 6, by 25 to 24.   The Senate’s income tax bill now advances to House.  SB 5096 will probably continue to advance in the House and ultimately to the governor’s desk.

If that happens and the governor signs it into law, we can expect immediate court challenges regarding the constitutionality of the tax.  There should be a statewide referendum to reject this because voters have rejected income tax proposals before.

As for the judicial process, the state Supreme Court has long held that income is “property” and property must be taxed uniformly, not at graduated rates.  Unfortunately, the current State Supreme Court has been bought and paid for.  Look for this corrupt court to reverse this long standing precedent.

~~~~~~~~

If you are asking yourself, "What's the big deal... many governments have some sort of income tax...?" 

The legislature says this is a tax only on capital gains, it is an unequal tax on income -- that is forbidden by our state constitution.

In the current SB 5096 version, only capital gains are taxed -- income from other sources is exempted.   In order to fix that, we will be told that we must expand income to be taxed to all forms of income.  And as the camel gets its nose inside the tent, an income tax is sure to spread the burden to other types of income on lower income earners.

The legislature has no plan to reduce other taxes, so there is no benefit to low income persons.  This will be a new tax to increase the overall tax burden on Washington state's economy.

We can still oppose this thing.  Contact your state representative and let them know your position.  You can look up your district at this link: https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder/

The Washington Policy Center has an article "State Income Tax Proposal: What You Need to Know"

Olympia gets it wrong

The government of Washington State has deliberately decided not to investigate the failures of city governments to provide for citizens right to safety..  The destruction on Capitol Hill in in Seattle last Summer is a perfect example of this failure.

Instead, the state government plans to lay new taxes on us (income taxes), extra fees (e.g. SB 5371 beverage fee), expensive new fuel regulations (HB 1091 - carbon tax), and  remove our right to review new taxes (SSB 5182), and override the state Constitution by imposing an income tax (SB 5096), and the firearm carry ban (SB 5038).  In display of total depravity, the legislature plans to restrict citizens' ability of self-defense.

This shows you the moral depravity of the "Party" controlled  legislature.  They should get to work for the People, and stop their treachery.

So email them.  All of them. Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but the state government makes law for the whole state, so they should answer to all of us.

Low Carbon Fuel Standard

HB 1091 – Washington State's Low Carbon Fuel Standard -  passed in the House on 2/27 with all 46 members of the Republican Caucus voting against the cost increase. 

The main effect of this Democratic Party proposed bill would be increased cost of transportation everywhere -- about $0.70 per gallon for fuel.  A significant side effect will be the increase in cost of farming on the eastern side of the state.

The bill is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate on 3/10. To be able to testify click here https://leg.wa.gov/legislature/Documents/2020/Accessing%20the%20Legislature%20remotely.pdf?csf=1&e=V7Lscu
