Ballot Battle Over Wealth Tax Disclosure | Seattle News
Description
A citizen activist is fighting to keep a ballot statement about Washington’s new millionaire tax off the ballot, arguing it’s unconstitutional and misleading. The state Supreme Court rejected his request, saying voters deserve to know how repealing the tax could cut funding for schools, colleges, and healthcare. While the tax won’t take effect until 2028, the debate over transparency vs. voter autonomy rages on—with opponents supporting disclosure and others questioning its necessity. The case heads back to the Supreme Court, where a final ruling could reshape how initiatives are regulated in Washington.
