Washington’s budget has actually declined by 60% overall. Even though the state’s yearly budget grew from $22 billion to $37 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the past 30 years, it didn’t keep up with our state’s capacity to invest. Learn more: opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/wa... #WALeg

#WALeg Republican Engell has an amendment to add other medical providers like radiologists to the list of doctors and hospitals who are getting a reduction in B&O taxes. He must be tired, because he just admitted that the MAGA Medicaid cuts have caused people to lose health care access 👀

An amendment from opposition providing a deduction from a taxpayer's Washington base income for the proceeds of the sale of the business assets of a retiring farmer failed. Rep. April Berg speaks to small farmers who were truly thought of in this bill and will not be paying this tax. #WALeg

There are... a lot of amendments. 81 to be exact. Around 60 of them are GOP-led, clearly meant to waste time and drag out the vote. It seems likely, if many of those amendments aren't withdrawn, that the #WALeg House will be in session overnight to finish this bill.
An enormous list of 80+ amendments on the WA Leg website. They are listed by number.

Rural working people support the Millionaires Tax because it funds the services they rely on, like the afterschool program Elana's nephew attends. This helps family members working multiple jobs to build a better future, one where the budget isn't balanced on their backs. @housedemocrats.wa.gov
