Brian Heywood could become the man who financed WA’s first statewide vote backing an income tax in nearly a hundred years
The right wing mega millionaire is betting that Washington voters will nix the state's recently levied million dollar earners tax, given an opportunity to repeal it with Initiative to the People 645 (IP26-645). Heywood speaks as though he simply can't lose. But he made a similar bet in the 2024 cycle that backfired spectacularly, with his money helping prove that progressive ideas like the capital gains tax funding the Education Legacy Trust, the Climate Commitment Act, and the WA Cares Fund were actually popular with voters. Brian Heywood could become the man who financed WA’s first statewide vote backing an income tax in nearly a hundred years is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute. Published continuously since March of 2004, NPI's Cascadia Advocate provides thoughtful commentary and analysis on regional, national, and world politics.
