Do You Have Tax Fatigue? The Governor Likes the Idea of a State Income Tax!

The Seattle Times today has an article entitled "Run it by the truth squad: Gregoire and state income tax" by Ralph Thomas. She is saying that "now is not the time" but how long will it take before she pushes for it--right after the election? She does believe "eventually we will have one."

Both of my opponents are very clear that Washington should have a state income tax. I believe we do not have a tax problem--we have an out-of-control spending problem. I feel we need to stand firm on the stance that we do not want to be raising taxes just because lawmakers cannot make a decent budget!

Recently, the Governor is starting to show signs of "belt tightening." There are examples of this in the article "State to raise camping fees in Washington Parks;" and a video by KING 5's Lori Matsukawa "Gov. Chris Gregoire has ordered state agencies to cut hiring, travel and fuel costs as the weak economy continues to dry up tax collections, and she's asking colleges and other statewide elected officials to follow suit."

I still maintain that it is very important that the lawmakers in Washington State start being FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. And, you voters in the 36th district can start to make that happen by voting for me for State House Representative, rather than my big spending opponents that want a state income tax!

The Primary in August 19th--please remember to vote!
