Washington Voters Push to Repeal Income Tax

Washington’s push to repeal its new top income tax is gaining steam, with over 242,000 signatures already collected and a goal of 400,000 by July to get the measure on the November ballot — potentially shattering the state’s all-time record. Targeting the 9.9% tax on incomes over $1 million and blocking future income taxes, the campaign claims broad, bipartisan support. But signature gatherers are facing harassment and even assaults, prompting calls for stronger condemnation from state officials — though the Attorney General’s office says it often lacks jurisdiction and advises victims to contact local police. A separate debate rages over ballot wording, with organizers arguing it’s biased, while the AG’s office defends it, noting voters will see both sides in the pamphlet. Momentum is strong, but the safety of volunteers and the final signature count will determine whether this November’s ballot includes a historic tax repeal.
