Washington Food Bank CEO Warns Repealing The Income Tax Will Hurt Families

Food Lifeline CEO Ryan Scott argues that Initiative 645 could jeopardize funding for programs that help address hunger across Washington, pointing to statistics showing that one in eight residents and one in six children experience food insecurity. Scott says those investments are critical to helping families put food on the table and announced Food Lifeline's support for the "No on 645" campaign. The comments come as Let's Go Washington released polling it says shows voters continue to oppose a state income tax, criticizing Governor Bob Ferguson for supporting the policy. The debate highlights competing arguments over taxpayer priorities, government spending, and how Washington should fund essential public services. #Washington #BobFerguson #IncomeTax #Taxpayer #Initiative645 #Politics #Economy #StateBudget #BreakingNews #FoodSecurity #Taxes #GovernmentSpending #PublicPolicy #Election #News
