Friends and neighbors, This week the Senate passed a supplemental operating budget that puts Washingtonians first and we’re working around the clock to pass some other heavy hitting legislation that gives back to working families. We know Washington state is ranked #1 for the most regressive tax code in the nation and that it is disproportionately burdening our working families who in many cases are barely getting by.
