Brian Heywood's Has Spent Over $10 Million to Fight Olympia!?

Brian Heywood has spent over $10 million of his own money fighting Olympia — and he has zero plans to stop.

Heywood joins John Curley to respond to Governor Bob Ferguson's new attack campaign against Initiative I-645, which would repeal Washington's 9.9% "millionaire tax." The initiative has already surpassed 500,000 signatures, well above the 308,911 required to hit the ballot.

Heywood explains why Ferguson calling him a "failure" is "pretty ballsy," how the Democrats deliberately designed the tax to avoid a referendum, and why — even after spending millions of his own money — he refuses to walk away.
