The October morning sun is out and today is a great day to vote! One of the easiest calls on my whole ballot? NO on I-645 – NO cuts to education, NO cuts to health care, and NO tax cut for the top 1%. @no645.bsky.social

Initiative 645’s math isn't mathing: cut billions from public schools, squeeze more kids into classrooms, and expect good results? Teachers give I-645 a failing grade. Vote NO when you get your ballot: no645.com

@kenjennings.bsky.social in the NYT with an absolute heater for the wealthy few bankrolling initiative 645 to give themselves a tax cut at the expense of the rest of us. As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social says, "bring back shame" and vote @no645.bsky.social! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...
"I like the idea that we could bring back an America where it's embarrassing for wealthy people to say, 'Even though I could afford this, and it will improve public services in our state, I'd rather fight it," Mr. Jennings said.

BREAKING: Survey reveals people prefer "fund education" over "cut a hedge fund guy’s taxes.” In other news, fork found in kitchen and water still wet. Vote NO on 645. no645.com
Survey finds residents support for income tax on millionaires when shown official ballot language.

A new survey shows that net support for Washington’s tax on income over $1 million increases by 18% when residents see a one-sentence explanation that its repeal would cut funding for K-12 education and healthcare, among other state services.

Teachers, small business owners, and nurses in Washington are urging people to vote NO on 645. On the other side? Brian Heywood (a hedge fund guy that wants to cut his own taxes) and Donald Trump (the most unpopular president in our state’s history). The answer is clear: Vote NO on 645.

The so-called “wealth flight” is a myth. The facts? In Washington, the people with the lowest incomes pay 3.5x more in state and local taxes than the richest 1 percent. Those are the people we should be worried about leaving. Vote NO on I-645 this November.

I-645 "doesn’t cleanly repeal the state’s novel high-earners income tax policy. The authors preserved the parts of the policy they like and jettisoned what they didn’t. Its passage would make it harder for Gov. Bob Ferguson and state lawmakers to effectively govern the state. Voters should say no."

"Revenue from the Millionaires Tax could fund free meals for every public school student in the state, and save participating families up to $1200 per year. If I-645 passes, instead of paying for kids’ lunches, that money will end up back in the pockets of multi-millionaires."

The Millionaires Tax isn't about punishing success. It's about recognizing that success here was built with public investment, and asking those who benefited most to help sustain it. That’s why it’s vital to vote no on I-645. no645.com
