When the Democrat income tax bill (Senate Bill 6346) had a public hearing in the state Senate, it broke ALL records for public engagement. Over 61,000 citizens officially signed in to make their opinions known that they were OPPOSED to a state income tax levied against high earners! They know that a “millionaire tax” today, will be “all of us” tomorrow and that the Democrats are using this high threshold to get a foot in the door to a full blown state income tax for all Washingtonians.
The bill was passed out of committee and then passed the Senate with NO Republican support. It is now scheduled for a public hearing in the House Finance Committee on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 8:00 a.m.
As of yesterday morning, over 20,000 people have signed in to the House committee AGAINST the state income tax. You can join this movement by clicking here to register your opposition.

I urge you to let your voice be heard! It will only take a few moments of your time to submit written testimony or to simply officially register your opposition (or support if you are in favor of the bill).
Sincerely,
Chris Corry
