Description
This year, Washington voters are deciding whether to repeal the controversial Millionaires Tax and considering measures on parental rights in public schools and transgender students’ participation in girls’ sports.
When asked if he would sign a bill that lowered the millionaire threshold, Ferguson said: “Hell no, not doing it.”
The issue has led to consternation about the business and philanthropic communities, and even Microsoft President Brad Smith has suggested jobs will leave the state if Washington takes another step and seeks a payroll tax.
When asked if a payroll tax was a non-starter, Ferguson said Tuesday: “Absolutely."
