Washington State: Tax Talks Amid Budget Cuts
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Republicans in Washington state are once again raising concerns about a potential state income tax, a long-standing tactic to rally their supporters. However, implementing such a tax is complex, requiring a constitutional amendment and super-majority votes. Democrats, who hold majorities in the legislature, are hesitant to back a measure that voters have rejected multiple times. Meanwhile, some Democrats are exploring other ways to boost state revenue, such as a payroll excise tax or a wealth tax, but both proposals face significant hurdles and are unlikely to pass in the upcoming sixty-day legislative session.
