It’s official: WA voters will get to weigh in on new income tax

Washington voters will soon decide on a significant change to the state's tax policy in November, as Initiative 645 makes it to the ballot. This measure targets households earning over $1 million annually, proposing a new income tax. With over 500,000 signatures supporting its certification, this initiative could reshape tax burdens for the wealthiest residents. This move matters as it reflects ongoing debates about wealth redistribution and the potential impact on economic disparities within the state.
