Democrats, be they in Washington State or Washington DC, don't know what balance the budget means they only know how to tax and spend.

Tax the corporations and the ultra rich. Fair share. Write or call our legislature about this.

AI cliff notes:
'Washington State House Bill 1334 could increase property taxes for Washington residents, including homeowners and renters. The bill would change how inflation is calculated for property tax increases, which could result in higher rates.
How it could impact you
Higher property taxes
The bill could increase property taxes by up to 6% per year. This is due to the change in how inflation is calculated, which would shift to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is the most widely used number for calculating inflation in the US.
Population-based adjustments
The bill would also adjust the limit factor to include population change. This could allow municipalities to raise property taxes based on population growth.

Since the fires in SoCal I've been wondering if the state will see climate migration up to Washington.

Not liking this move by Washington State Democrats!!! Good grief... Just balance the budget.
