The Supreme Court told the legislature to pass a fair budget using current revenue sources, not to raise taxes. That means: No state tax on income and capital gains. Agree on what’s to be spent without the need for a special session: Don’t set contract terms for ferries with terms so sweet that they cost 30 percent more than out of state yards: Don’t allow labor contracts to be negotiated by the Governor before the session begins. Pass legislation to protect that basic human right – the right to work – that makes Washington a fair place to work and an attractive place to start a business
