35th District Update: Griffey and Couture on Washington Income Tax Proposal, Small Business Impacts, and Public Safety Bills

Washington State Representatives Dan Griffey and Travis Couture join Jeff Slakey for a wide-ranging 35th District legislative update. The conversation focuses on newly proposed income tax legislation in Olympia, concerns over constitutionality, and how a so-called “millionaire tax” could impact households, small businesses, professional sports teams, and local industries like shellfish farming. The discussion also covers state spending priorities, economic growth projections, and several public safety bills, including changes related to stalking, domestic violence services, and sheriff oversight.
