Episode Details

A Thurston County judge has upheld a politically charged ballot statement warning voters that repealing Washington’s high-income tax could slash funding for education, healthcare, and human services — a move activists say is unconstitutional propaganda. The ruling ends a legal challenge over the wording, which was mandated by a new state law requiring “public investment impact disclosures.” The activist behind the case plans to appeal directly to the state Supreme Court, while another judge approved edits to an online explanation clarifying that only the Legislature can allocate funds — not the tax itself.
