New taxes should be limited to one year or less. They will be, if Tim Eyman's new initiative I-1648 gets enacted. Link to the whole initiative
The Legislature played too rough with Washington State taxpayers this last session and needs to be reigned in. This initiative will do that, plus it will give the People a review mechanism for future tax increase.
If the voters approve a new tax, it will stand. Otherwise, a new tax will be limited to one year. This way, we get to decide in November if a new tax is worthwhile.
The Legislature produced quite a few new taxes this session, more than needed for current spending plans. The Democrats just lust for other people's money, I guess.
Initiative 1648 is worth voting for.
