Opinion: Tax hikes won’t fix a spending problem
Update: 2025-10-28
Description
Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center critiques the state’s 2025–27 budget, arguing that overspending and misplaced political priorities created the crisis now driving supplemental funding requests. From Medicaid underfunding to costly climate initiatives, Myers says lawmakers ignored essential services while expanding union pay raises and wasteful projects. He calls on legislators to reject tax hikes and instead cut unsustainable spending. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-tax-hikes-wont-fix-a-spending-problem/ #Opinion #ToddMyers #WashingtonPolicyCenter #WashingtonState #Taxes #Budget #GovernmentSpending #Legislature #Economy #FiscalResponsibility
