Initiative 645: Reform or a Permanent Tax Lock?

Camas resident Anthony Teso pushes back on Initiative 645, arguing it does not simply repeal a 9.9 percent tax on income above a million dollars but bans income taxes entirely, while leaving sales tax obligations in place. He notes Washington's poorest fifth pay 13.8 percent of income in state and local taxes, while the wealthiest one percent pay 4.1 percent. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-i-do-not-think-that-9-9-percent-on-income-above-a-million-dollars-is-much-of-a-reform/ #Initiative645 #WashingtonState #TaxPolicy #Opinion #ClarkCounty #I645 #SalesTax #IncomeTax #BallotMeasure #WApolitics
