"On Monday House Republicans offered an amendment to House Bill [----] allowing a court to require verification that a caregiver is sober complying with treatment or otherwise capable of safely caring for a child before allowing the child to remain in the home. The amendment was adopted. But it wont matter if families cant even get a shelter care hearing because the system is overwhelmed. And sadly the underlying bill still fails to address the crisis of children dying in drug-abusing households because courts must still wait until the danger is imminent before intervening leaving kids exposed"

"If Democrats pass their unconstitutional state income tax bill Washingtonians will have no opportunity to reject it. Thats because the bill contains an emergency clause which blocks citizens from repealing the bill through the referendum process. This legislative maneuver follows a pattern of Democrats changing the rules to shut down the opposition. Last year House Democrats eliminated a 132-year-old rule enacted in [----] that guaranteed free and open debate on the House floor. They lowered the supermajority 2/3 threshold required to end debate and vote on bills down to a simple majority. This"

"For generations Washington has made a deliberate choice: we do not tax income. That decision has helped shape our economy attract employers grow family incomes and give working people more control over what they earn. It reflects the clear will of voters who have rejected a state income tax time and again. Now Democratic leaders want to abandon that model. "Their latest proposal Senate Bill [----] would impose a 9.9% income tax on individuals and couples earning more than $1 million. They are calling it a millionaire tax or high earner tax.
