Thank you to all the lawmakers who worked through 25 hours of floor debate to pass the #MillionairesTax! Revenue from this bill will help fund early learning, expand the Working Families Tax Credit, and provide sales tax exemptions for essential items for kids and families. Next, on to the Senate!

Early learning is facing significant cuts in the state budget - that's not good for kids & families. Dr. Soleil Boyd, Rian Watt, & Sandra Diaz ask lawmakers to "Protect WCCC, stop cutting early learning programs and pass the “millionaires tax.” in their op-ed: www.seattletimes.com/opinion/dont...
Don't balance WA budget at child care providers' expense | Op-Ed
