It’s midnight here at the Washington State Law Enforcment Memorial. Honored to ring the bell to begin Peace Officers Memorial Day. Today and every day, we remember those who died in service to their fellow citizens.

Sen. Matt Boehnke slams the WA Democrats' "millionaire tax" that isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s a income tax coming for EVERYONE in Washington State (SB 6346). In a fiery message, he urges citizens to Sign-in CON on SB 6346, rally, write, and call their legislators and Governor Bob Ferguson's office to stop further taxation.

We offered Amendment 696 on SB 6346 to ensure this tax is only for millionaires, and WA Democrats shot down that amendment. It's very clear where this tax is going. This tax is going to YOU.
This new income tax proposal comes after WA Democrats/Socialists voted to shut the public out of the budget process, while passing the largest tax increase and spending spree in state history (SB 5167) last year. The new Democrat taxes include the largest property tax increase in state history too that didn't have "property tax" in the title of the bill (HB 2049). Many of their new taxes are deeply regressive and tax the poor, hitting food banks, non-profits, charities, health care, childcare, and school districts (SB 5814). WA Democrats also cut $782 MILLION out of Medicaid, cut childcare and domestic violence prevention programs, cut support for state & county fairs, and increased the Discover Pass, fishing licenses, and hunting licenses 38%-50% (SB 5390, SB 5583, & SB 5167). Now, WA Democrats back for more.
None of this was necessary. We proved repeatedly that we could have a budget with no new taxes, no tax increases, and no service cuts by focusing on eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in our $ave WA Budget (SB 5810).
Current state law, Initiative 2111, also prohibits a state income tax. Initiative 2111 was signed by over 450,000 people, which means WA Democrats would have to vote against the will of the people to pass this.
Additionally, a $15 BILLION surplus was squandered, there's still $1.17 BILLION in missing COVID money, $1 BILLION in wasted Labor & Industries tech projects, $646 MILLION of unemployment money being stolen by Nigerian scammers, $416 MILLION unaccounted for in the Department of Children, Youth and Families, $340 MILLION going to non-citizens, and so much more.
Imagine what these billions alone would have paid for.
We need your help to stop the greed! Families and individuals need tax relief, not ever-increasing taxes.

This is how Obamacare was sold to the American people.
It was all lies and has cost this country a fortune.
Democrats not only don’t take any responsibility for this, they blame Trump for the current cost of healthcare.
Mi vecino murió hace cuatro meses.
Yo tengo 36. Él tenía casi 70.
Vivía solo.
Sin hijos.
Sin visitas.
Solo hablábamos cuando coincidíamos en la entrada.
—Si un día no me ves, preocúpate —me dijo una vez riendo.
Una mañana llegó la ambulancia.
Se lo llevaron.
No volvió.
Semanas después tocaron mi puerta.
Era un abogado.
—Usted aparece en el testamento.
Pensé que era un error.
No éramos amigos.
Apenas conocidos.
Fui a la lectura.
Me dejó algo simple:
su apartamento.
Sus parientes estaban furiosos.
—Se aprovechó de un viejo solo —decían.
Yo ni siquiera sabía que estaba enfermo.
Acepté igual.
Cuando entré por primera vez, todo estaba ordenado.
Limpio.
Silencioso.
Encima de la mesa había un sobre con mi nombre.
Dentro había una nota corta.
“Gracias por saludarme siempre.
Fuiste la única persona que me habló como si todavía existiera.”
Me quedé sentado mucho tiempo.
La gente dice que tuve suerte.
Yo digo que alguien pasó años invisible…
hasta que un simple “buenos días” fue suficiente para recordarle que estaba vivo.
Y ahora cada mañana saludo a todos los vecinos.
Nunca sabes quién está esperando que alguien lo vea.

Imagine if we treated anorexia by affirming they are fat.
Yet this is the treatment for transgenderism.
Ridiculous. No other mental illness is treated by embracing the delusion and pretending along with them.
Sen. Judy Warnick calls on citizens to contact Democrat legislators and Gov. Bob Ferguson to oppose an income tax bill (SB 6346) that's unconstitutional and unaffordable. Warnick warns the tax will affect everyone, not just millionaires, and urges broad grassroots engagement to defeat SB 6346.
