Description

Could Washington’s Millionaire Tax eventually affect more than just millionaires? And what happens when the Washington Supreme Court overturns an initiative approved by millions of voters?

In this episode, Anton Stetner sits down with Brian Heywood, founder of Let’s Go Washington, for an in-depth conversation about the future of Washington State politics, taxes, business, and voter rights.

They explore Washington’s new 9.9% Millionaire Tax, the possibility of future changes to the $1 million income threshold, and what Initiative 645 could mean for homeowners, entrepreneurs, investors, and families across the state.

The discussion also examines the Washington Supreme Court's decision to invalidate Initiative 2066, the voter-approved natural gas measure, and the legal questions surrounding Washington’s initiative process.

Topics covered include:

  • Washington’s Millionaire Tax and Initiative 645
  • The potential economic impact on Washington businesses and residents
  • Government spending and projected tax revenue
  • The Supreme Court ruling against Initiative 2066
  • Initiative 638 and girls’ school athletics
