Voters will see a statement on the budget effects of repealing Washington’s new income tax on high earners after a legal effort to remove it from ballots failed Thursday. The statement, which characterizes how repealing the income tax would affect the state budget, was nearly removed from the ballot through a last-ditch legal challenge, according to the Daily Record. The failure of the legal challenge means the statement will remain on the ballot, allowing voters to consider the budget implications when deciding on the measure.
