Economy Politics Holdout Democrats leave WA House support for income tax in doubt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The votes weren’t there yet late Wednesday for Democrats’ income tax bill in the Washington state House.

Democratic members are withholding support for the proposed income tax on millionaires, saying they want to see if a new version of the controversial legislation, possibly due out Thursday, will satisfy their concerns.

Holdouts reportedly number around a dozen and include lawmakers who’ve publicly opposed the bill and ones who cast themselves as undecided or “yes, if.”

With 59 seats in the chamber, Democrats can only afford to lose nine votes and still pass the bill. Republicans are uniformly opposed.
