“This Is Unconstitutional”: McKenna Slams WA Income Tax Law

A major legal and political battle is unfolding over Washington’s new income tax law. Former Attorney General Rob McKenna is calling the law unconstitutional, arguing it violated the state constitution the moment it was passed. He says lawmakers should have taken the issue directly to voters through a constitutional amendment—instead of relying on the courts to decide. McKenna also claims the move keeps voters from weighing in on a major tax policy, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. With lawsuits already filed, the fight is now headed toward the courts—and potentially the Washington State Supreme Court. 👉 Topics covered: Washington income tax controversy Rob McKenna’s legal argument Constitutional amendment vs legislation Role of voters in tax policy Legal challenges to WA income tax 🔔 Subscribe for more updates on Washington politics and breaking legal battles
