GOP Lawmakers Want Constitutional Ban On Income Tax

(Olympia, WA)  --  Republican lawmakers are hoping to get Washington voters to decide on whether to constitutionally ban state and local income taxes.  Under a bill sponsored by Auburn Senator Phil Fortunato, the item would go on the ballot in the next general election.  Before Senate Joint Resolution 8204 goes before voters, it will have to gain approval from both Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature.  Fortunato tells the "News Tribune" he doesn't expect the measure to pass, but believes it will start a conversation.
