'It's coming for everybody': Curley urges YES on I-645 after Supreme Court deadlock keeps disputed ballot language
The Washington Supreme Court split 4-4 last week on a petition to remove a contested disclosure statement from ballots for Initiative 645, the measure to repeal the state's 9.9% income tax on household income above $1 million, according to The Washington State Standard. Because the court failed to reach a majority, the statement — which reads, "This measure would decrease funding for public K-12 education, higher education (including universities and community colleges), and human services (primarily healthcare)" — will appear on November ballots as written.
