Washington Tax Scrutiny Intensifies After Document Dump

KIRO FM Seattle Olympia 51d51d Impact 5
Senator Jamie Peterson is calling on the Washington State Supreme Court to overturn a 1933 decision that bans progressive income taxes. Peterson stated in an interview with Cairo News Radio that the 1933 ruling is incorrect. His comments follow reports from the Center Square regarding internal emails that show Peterson drafted an income tax targeting millionaires. The senator is requesting the court take a second look at the matter in 2026. Senate Majority Leader J.B. The senator stated in emails that the goal is to change the court's stance on the matter. The Attorney General is currently responding to questions regarding these findings. New records suggest the tax was designed with a legal strategy to change the state constitution, not just for revenue.
