Washington’s mega-rich need to pay what they owe for education, housing, health care

Subject: Landslide defeat of I-2109 means we want the mega-rich to pay what they owe for education, housing, health care

As your constituent, I joined 2.3 million other Washingtonians in voting NO to cutting taxes for Washington’s billionaires and mega-millionaires. I-2109 lost in a landslide with 65% of voters showing our overwhelming support for rebalancing Washington’s tax code by making the mega-rich pay what they owe for early learning and school construction.

Washington is facing a projected budget shortfall of $10 billion. There is no need to make drastic cuts that will impact millions of working families when thousands of mega-millionaires and billionaires could be paying what they owe our State.

I urge you to support proposals that rebalance our tax code by making sure those who have the most pay their share for education, housing, health care and other vital state services.
