Judge's Own Words Reveal Bias in WA Income Tax Disclosure
Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Ryan Frost of the Washington Policy Center examines how Judge Chris Lanese, while upholding the Public Investment Impact Disclosure for IP26-645, spent the hearing making the policy case for a more progressive tax code rather than testing whether the Attorney General met the law's neutrality requirement. The judge acknowledged the initiative makes no direct spending cuts, yet the disclosure tells voters it would decrease funding for schools and health care. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-judges-own-words-expose-the-bias-in-washingtons-income-tax-repeal-impact-disclosure/ #Opinion #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #PIID #TaxPolicy #BallotInitiative #WashingtonPolicyCenter #StateBudget
