Tax Repeal Warning Sparks Debate | Seattle News

Washington’s Attorney General just released a ballot warning claiming repealing the new millionaire income tax could slash K-12, higher ed, and human services funding—but critics say it’s a misleading scare tactic. The tax, set to activate in 2028, hasn’t collected a dime yet, and its revenue isn’t earmarked for those programs. Legal experts argue the Attorney General’s disclosure is required to list top spending categories—education and healthcare—regardless of the tax’s impact. Supporters of the repeal say the warning is factually wrong and unfairly biases voters, while the AG’s office insists they’re simply following the law. The initiative’s backers have until a deadline to challenge the wording—because if it stays, voters will see this warning right before casting their ballots.
