Initiative 645, backed by supporters who argue it unfairly burdens families and small businesses, has qualified for the ballot after collecting over 500,000 valid signatures — far exceeding the 310,000 needed. While opponents claim the tax won’t affect lower earners and point to the governor’s veto pledge and inflation adjustments, a legal challenge looms. The outcome could reshape Washington’s tax policy for years to come. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
