Legal Challenge Filed Against WA's New Income Tax Law
Published 1 month ago
Description
Former Attorney General Rob McKenna and Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge filed suit in Klickitat Superior Court challenging Washington's new 9.9% income tax. The legal brief argues the legislature and Governor Ferguson willfully defied nearly a century of state Supreme Court precedent declaring income as property subject to uniform taxation requirements. Six previous attempts to impose graduated income taxes required constitutional amendments, all rejected by voters. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-lawsuit-filed-against-the-unconstitutional-income-tax-in-washington-state/ #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #Constitution #PropertyRights #Lawsuit #RobMcKenna #PhilTalmadge #TaxPolicy #LegalChallenge #GovernorFerguson
