    Weren’t there just like ~7000 households in the entire state that had to pay ? The entire state has ~5,053,106 household.

    I’m pretty sure there are 7000 households in WA that could use some help from journalists who don’t have a one year capital gains bill higher than a quarter million dollars ?

    WTFWA ?

    Hmm well if I’m forced to choose between education and “business concerns”.

    I think I’ll pick education. They claim that Washington State has a spending problem not a funding problem. The state spends a lot of money on education supposedly ($14k per student yet we’re still having to close schools) so taking away funding definitely won’t help the matter.
