Former Council President Warns Seattle's Deficit Is Getting Worse
Seattle is staring down a nearly half-billion-dollar budget deficit — and former City Council President Sara Nelson says Mayor Katie Wilson may be using the moment to lay the groundwork for new taxes the city has never seen before.
Nelson joined Charlie Harger and Manda Factor on Seattle's Morning News to explain why the $480 million shortfall is "par for the course," why the timing of Wilson's announcement raises questions, and what she believes is really coming: a push for progressive revenue, potentially including a local income tax.
