Activist judge erupts over tax cuts, rules against Washington income tax repeal challenge before group can argue case

This clip is from a hearing over the ballot warning for IP26-645, the initiative to repeal Washington’s new income tax. WARNING POTLDR (pissed off too long did not read) I-26-645 would repeal Washington's new income tax. The income tax targeted by the initiative also does not begin generating revenue until 2029, meaning current state spending does not depend on those collections. LGW characterized what happened as part of a broader effort by state officials to protect the income tax from voters who have rejected a similar tax eleven other times. I-645 is slated to go before Washington voters in November.
