What action can we take? I have sent comments to my representatives voicing my strong opposition, but as they are all Democrats, I have no hope that they will pay any attention.

It should have never gotten as far as it did. You can probably bet that it will pass in the end. Washington state is totally under WEF control with their puppets Inslee and Ferguson.

That is not the only bill, Senate Bill 5618:

Help me stop it - Democrats' new bill takes away the 1% property tax cap (58% of voters passed it in 2001 & 89% of legislators passed it in 2007). Senate Bill 5618 TRIPLES property tax increases. Send 2 emails to stop it.

Fighting for Taxpayers for 26 years

Without any public notice on the Legislature's website, there was a "public" hearing on Senate Bill 5618 on Valentine's Day.

But we, the people, couldn't testify against it because they hid it on their website.

Why?

Because the Democrats KNEW that we, the people, would go absolutely ballistic and show up in droves to fight it.

TRIPLING PROPERTY TAX INCREASES?

Find me a property owner who believes their increases haven't been big enough EVEN WITH THE 1% PROPERTY TAX CAP (it became the law in 2002 and was reenacted by the Legislature in 2007)?

So only governments that would get the higher PROPERTY TAXES were notified about the hearing and were there to testify for it.

Now it's too late for the citizens to weigh in.

But here's your/our chance to tell all 147 legislators "No way to TRIPLING PROPERTY TAX INCREASES with Senate Bill 5618."

I implore you to send emails to all 147 legislators RIGHT NOW.

Please send 2 separate emails: one to the Senate and one to the House.

TRIPLING PROPERTY TAX INCREASES? Are you nuts? I am adamantly opposed to Senate Bill 5618 because it ignores the will of the people and the collective wisdom of the 2007 Legislature (and Democrat Governor Chris Gregoire).

The 1% property tax cap was passed by 58% of voters in 2001

What can they do to us if we continue to call them out? Arrest us for freedom of speech? Especially when we've got proof!
