I spoke w/ @kiro7seattle.bsky.social about how WA tax revenue is down because consumer spending is down. The piece focuses on the possibility of a recession, but let's not forget that the budget would have more $ if ultra-wealthy & corporations paid their share of taxes www.kiro7.com/news/local/w...

My thoughts on the state revenue forecast are in the link below. The gist? WA's tax code, which over-relies on the inequitable sales tax, isn't keeping pace with economic growth. And in the face of so many federal budget cuts to important programs, #WaLeg & the gov must enact new progressive revenue
