The State Supreme Court just made it a lot easier for the legislature to raise your taxes—and we know they’re going to try.
Washington
voters have repeatedly (6 times) and overwhelmingly (64% in 2012) voted
to require a super-majority vote for the legislature to increase taxes
or fees. Yet six State Supreme Court justices sided with special
interests to strike down this law.
Some politicians claim tax
hikes are essential just to support basic services. It’s an outright
lie. State revenue for the next budget is projected to be $2 billion
more than in the last budget, yet politicians say it’s not enough. In
fact, revenue has consistently increased over time. Washington State
doesn’t have a revenue problem—we have a spending problem.
Let’s tell Olympia, loud and clear, that we don’t need more taxes. Sign our petition and tell WA Legislators to restore the two-thirds vote requirement on new taxes!
