Lewallen: Washington Income Tax Passed as GOP Amendments Rejected

A 51–46 vote on March 10, 2026, passed Washington’s so-called millionaires tax after Democrats rejected more than 70 Republican amendments, writes Leslie Lewallen of Future 42 Clark County. She argues the measure violates the State Constitution, fuels a business exodus, and creates a $3.5–4 billion general fund slush fund with no dedicated K-12 or kids’ health dollars. https://clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-my-thoughts-on-yesterdays-tragic-state-income-tax/ #WashingtonState #ClarkCounty #Politics #Opinion #IncomeTax #MillionairesTax #Future42 #Project42
