This may have been the most important measure voted on last night because it was an attempt for the democrats to destroy one of the few remaining income-tax free states. Under the guise of only applying to the wealthy, once an IRS is established in the state it is a smaller effort to gradually lower the amount from 200k/year to say 50k. Even though Washington State is a leftist one, they still had the common sense to vote against this measure.
I find it interesting how the media did not post this as one of their measures because the leftist agenda is to sneak this in.
