Robin Hood: Dems in Tights

from Sound Politics Hosted by KUOW News and Information

Is Governor Ferguson tax-mogging? We'll let you look up what that means, but the millionaire’s tax is taking shape as it moves through Olympia. State Senate Democrats passed their version of the proposal this week. But can it pay for everything Democrats want it to fund? Also, Seattle mayor Katie Wilson faces her first test in office: Whether to expand the city’s over 60 CCTV cameras. It's a grab-bag episode, inspired by Mayor Wilson's reference to public grocery stores in her State of the City speech this week.
