🚨 WE WON 🚨 Seattle tried to dodge the Public Records Act. The court said: not so fast. This is a big win for @BrandiKruse, @unDividedMedia, and every Washingtonian who expects transparency—not excuses—from government. CADF Executive Director Jackson Maynard argued the case at both the trial and appellate court levels, securing the victory on appeal. We are proud to represent @BrandiKruse! You can watch the appellate argument at the link below. ⤵️ tvw.org/video/division…

"I haven't reviewed any of these documents, but based on what you're telling me, I'm a bit alarmed. The Attorney General's role is to defend the constitution, not help the legislature find ways to violate it." - CADF Executive Director @JacksonMaynard8 #waleg

EXCLUSIVE: Internal records reveal Washington’s “millionaire’s tax” may be about more than just taxing high earners. Emails obtained by The Center Square show that some lawmakers and AG staff discussed using the law to force the state Supreme Court to reconsider a nearly 100-year-old ruling that blocks a broader income tax. That ruling defines income as property, limiting how it can be taxed. If overturned, it could pave the way for a progressive income tax on all Washingtonians, not just millionaires. The 9.9% tax is already facing legal challenges ahead of its planned 2028 rollout.

The fix was in from the start on the income tax. This quote from @CADFWashington Jackson Maynard sums it up: "I haven't reviewed any of these documents, but based on what you're telling me, I'm a bit alarmed," he wrote. "The Attorney General's role is to defend the constitution, not help the legislature find ways to violate it." Great investigative reporting from @TJMartinell1 and @TCSWashington

It's official! The first lawsuit has been filed against the State of Washington for implementing an unconstitutional income tax, SB 6346. "The lawsuit is brought on behalf of individual taxpayers, farmers, and leading business organizations that represent thousands of small businesses across the state – all of whom have come together to ask the Court to uphold the State Constitution" With a former Attorney General, a former Supreme Court Justice, and a law firm that specializes in representing Washingtonians against Olympia all spearheading the fight; This lawsuit is going to be one for the history books. @CADFWashington Link: citizenactiondefense.org/rob-mckenna-ph…
