Washington Votes Forum

As long as residents keep voting in liberals they will keep trying to tax us to death. Every time we vote and get a law on the books to put all proposed taxes and fees to the people to vote, it becomes the highest priority on their agenda to repeal it. Every time. Never fails. Dump the liberals...

No, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO... What is it with you dems that you cannot understand the word NO? NO means NO, even my new puppy knows the word NO. Maybe if the populace hits your collective noses with a newpaper with every NO we have said to a state income tax, you too will learn what NO means. NO...

Unless I am mistaken this will just be another tax passed on to the consumer. Or will this new cost of doing business just magically be paid by people from some other state? We cannot continue to look for new and inventive ways to tax the citizens of Washington state. Rep. Sherry Appleton, (D-Poulsbo...

Don't be fooled by this bill. It is just a disguised tax increase - disguised in an attempt to get around the constitutional limits on taxation. The public streets are not a utility service, like water, sewer, gas, telephone, etc. The public streets are a public service, like public safety, police...

It figures, the state now wants to tax something that has no value. The definition: Intangible property , also known as incorporeal property, describes something which a person or corporation can have ownership of and can transfer ownership of to another person or corporation, but has no physical substance...

[quote user="Sarajane46th"] Workforce housing for people making between minimum wage and a living wage is especially needed. By definition, they need help to make it. You can't rent a one-bedroom apartment on $10 an hour. The housing would be built state-wide. People would be able to work...

I thought there was a program already in place for people who want to get their GED in prison, why not use the same program for juveniles, or is this just another way to spend tax-payer's money. As they're in prision they should suffer the same amount as student in the classroom. Sitting for...

The people voted in the 1% cap. It should be up to them to remove it, if they wish to. I believe that the legislature has the power to put a referendum up to the people. That is what they should do. Remove the 1% cap and replace it with a cap of the CPI. I believe that the ultimate goal of Mr. Tim's...
