WA governor to fellow Democrats: Income tax bill still misses mark

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington Democrats’ controversial income tax bill emerged from a state House panel Friday looking much different than when it arrived.

But it hadn’t changed enough to win over Gov. Bob Ferguson, who said the bill “still has a long way to go” and raised concerns that lawmakers are “running out of time” to come up with an acceptable proposal.

The House Finance Committee stripped out a proposed tax break for large companies, sped up repeal of a new sales tax on services, and eliminated the sales tax on diapers.

Those are among the most notable changes made to the version of the bill approved by the Senate earlier this month.
