@EvergreenRpt They're already trying to regulate bovine burps (app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/?B…) so give the human breathing tax another year or two
English
Is there a plan to tax us for breathing?
Seems like that’s coming.

@TravisSCouture @adriancortes @WaHouseGOP I'm beginning to think his "doctorate" must have been an honorary one

@adriancortes @WaHouseGOP Not sure how to tell you this, but we are the “House” GOP, so no, that’s not us.

Roses are red, the rent is high,
But price controls will bleed it dry.
When profits shrink, the builders flee,
And homes grow scarce for you and me.
The walls will crack, the pipes will leak,
As landlords cut the funds they seek.
With fewer homes and more in need,
The market chokes, yet can’t be freed.
So let growth boom, let builders build,
Let homes be filled, not dreams be killed.
For when we block the price’s flow,
The cost will rise, supply won’t grow.

roses are red rent should be predictable let's pass rent stabilization & make WA more livable <3 #RentStabilization #WALeg

@mrandystevens Budget shortfalls yet buying time for a commercial during the Super Bowl. Decision like that are why we have budget issues.

Alright, which one of you did the WA State Budget Breakdown commercial?

I wish I lived in Jay Inslee's version of Washington, full of puppies and rainbows.
Instead I live in the real Washington, where under Inslee's watch, prices and crime rates have soared and over half of our kids are failing to meet grade standards.

@stokesbary It's not like WA state doesn't have enough real problems that desperately need fixing. We don't need to be creating solutions for problems that don't exist.

WA Democrats spent this year arguing that we should make it more expensive to emit carbon so that less carbon will get emitted.
Well what do these galaxy brains think will happen to jobs in this state if we start making it more expensive to hire people?

Senate Dems not only want a wealth tax, but they are planning to propose making Seattle’s Jump Start tax statewide – and even have a version that would make it apply to ALL businesses, not just those with a payroll over $8M. This is insane stuff. 🧵

@AnthonyMixerWA @RepCorry Businesses experiencing employment needs should pay what they owe so that we can ensure we have enough homelessness funding to properly center the needs of all the new people who will soon be experiencing joblessness under this plan.
English
@RepCorry @stokesbary Gotta be politically correct about how taxes are discussed! 🤦🏼♂️
English
Maybe the legislature can have a work session and invite in an economist who can explain what a great idea a wealth tax is for the state.
Brandi Kruse@BrandiKruse
Their three biggest internal plans for tax increases are: -Tax on unrealized gains (wealth tax) -B&O surcharge for large corporations -Taxing high paying jobs (modeled off the Jump Start tax in Seattle, which led to Amazon moving 10,000+ jobs to Bellevue.

@danielwinvw This is a very funny tweet for maybe 12 people. I am one of the twelve.

Walkinshaw should reorganize the Stranger's beat structure, but secretly ask Andy Billig if he's okay with every detail
Daniel Walters@danielwreporter
I'm concerned that being owned by a Democrat is going to hurt the Stranger's sterling reputation for ideological neutrality

@washdems Hahahahaha.
You guys passed the most out of touch natural gas bill by threatening your members who didn’t want to vote for the bill. One of your members called it “the stupidest decision of the past decade”.
But please, go on.

Washingtonians shouldn’t have to break the bank so the WA GOP and their corporate bankrollers can get rich. It couldn’t be more clear: Our environment and hardworking families are at risk with I-2066!
Every eligible voter must vote against this initiative!
Say NO to 1-2066
