Description | US Rep. Jay Inslee told KIRO radio’s Dave Ross this morning that he would not sign an income tax bill if he’s elected governor.
He also said he voted against last year’s high-earners’ income tax proposal, I-1098, in November 2010. The initiative, pushed by Bill Gates Sr., would have imposed a tax on income over $200,000 for singles and $400,000 for couples—about 1.2 percent of Washington State residents.
However, in December 2010, Inslee voted with the Democrats for ending Bush’s tax cuts to the top two percent of Americans, those making more than $250,000 a year. |
