DESCRIPTION
A legal battle over Washington's new income tax reaches court as supporters of Initiative 645 argue the ballot's impact disclosure statement is misleading and factually inaccurate. The case could determine what millions of Washington voters see before casting their ballots this November.
Also in today's episode, the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) is urging residents to weigh in before the deadline on proposed state energy code changes. Builders argue the revisions could increase construction costs, discourage natural gas, and make housing even more expensive.
