Supporters of the Millionaires Tax who were fraudulently signed in “con” for tomorrow’s House Finance Committee hearings are calling on Chief House Clerk Dean and Attorney General Nick Brown to launch an investigation.

Today the Washington State Senate voted 27-22 for the Millionaires Tax, an historic step in fixing the state’s regressive tax system with a 9.9% tax on earnings over $1 million. Union leaders celebrated the outcome and called on House leaders to continue the momentum.

More than 800 advocates from all corners of Washington state rallied on the steps of the capitol in Olympia today in support of the proposed Millionaires Tax (SB 6346). The bill, approved by the Senate Ways & Means Committee on Monday, is pending in the Senate Rules committee, which sends bills to the floor for a vote.

A new polling memo shows Washingtonians overwhelmingly support fixing Washington’s upside down tax code, with 60% supporting the Millionaires Tax to fund education and health care.

“We are thrilled to see legislators champion a measure that will help Washington State meet the needs of working families by asking mega-millionaires and billionaires to pay a little more. This is a smart step towards balancing Washington’s upside down tax code while funding schools, healthcare, and other necessities people are struggling to afford.”
