## Resource

Washington voters will decide in November whether to repeal the state’s income tax through Initiative 26-645, after 500,000+ valid signatures cleared legal hurdles. Supporters, calling themselves Let’s Go Washington, argue the plan protects families and small businesses by preserving sales tax cuts and key benefits while cutting wasteful spending. Opponents warn it’s a deceptive move to undo hard-won progress. With both sides ramping up their campaigns, the outcome could reshape Washington’s tax system and public funding for years to come.
