and while you are at it.. you might want to take time to explore the site... this is an unusual opportunity to peek inside the viewpoint of the newest of the younger generations.
i apologize for forgetting to put this in politics.. that is one function the edit button doesn't allow you to change:(
I just look and see where Eyman stands and know the right vote is in the other direction. Duh.
Clarification: This editorial appears to SUPPORT 1098, not oppose it. It opposes 1053 and 1107. The article has a link to a previous part of the series, "Initiative 1098: Triage for Inequality in Washington State", which makes the author's support for 1098 clear.
Yes,
the article opposes
1053 which would require a two-thirds majority of the state legislature to pass any tax increases
and 1107 which would repeal sales taxes on soda-pop and candy.
while supporting 1098.. which would tax the income of the top 1.2% of Washington residents and provide tax relief for property owners and small businesses
