Washington State transportation officials are weighing toll increases to $18 on SR 167 and I-405 after toll revenue fell $10 million short of projections — and the stakes extend to Southwest Washington drivers who could face future I-5 tolls. Rep. Andrew Barkis calls the timing poor with gas prices nearing $6 per gallon in parts of the state. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/washingtonians-could-see-toll-rates-increase-to-18-along-sr-167-i-405-next-year/ #SR167 #I405 #TollRates #I5Bridge #WashingtonState #Transportation #ClarkCounty #WSDOT #Infrastructure #Politics
The U.S. House passed a 217-198 bill requiring parental consent before public elementary and middle schools can update a student's pronouns, gender markers, or preferred name on records — or risk losing federal funding.

Additional spring Chinook retention days are now open on the mainstem Columbia River from Rocky Point/Tongue Point to the Washington-Oregon border.

Elizabeth New (Hovde) of the Washington Policy Center argues Washington's compact-by-compact approach to occupational licensing leaves experienced, credentialed workers waiting too long to work.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek blamed Trump's Iran policy after voters rejected Measure 120 — a new transportation tax — by 83 to 17, including a majority of Democrats. Lars Larson argues Kotek ignored ODOT mismanagement on the Abernathy Bridge, Rose Quarter, and Interstate Bridge instead of taking responsibility. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-tone-deaf-tina-kotek-ignores-oregon-voters-tuesday-message/ #Opinion #Oregon #TinaKotek #Measure120 #ODOT #Transportation #LarsLarson #NorthwestNonsense #Politics #PacificNorthwest
Target Zero Manager Doug Dahl explains why Washington's suspended license law applies anywhere in the state — including private driveways. Unlicensed drivers are twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes, and that's exactly why officers can act before a vehicle reaches the road. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-getting-a-ticket-in-your-drive-way/ #TargetZero #DougDahl #WashingtonLaw #SuspendedLicense #TrafficLaw #DrivingLaws #WiseDrive #ClarkCounty #WashingtonState #Opinion

Jason Mercier of Mountain States Policy Center compares Washington's weakening job growth and expanding regulatory burden against Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming — states that rank among the nation's lowest for taxes and regulation.

Elizabeth New (Hovde) of the Washington Policy Center argues that Washington lawmakers had real options for tax relief — a sales-tax cut, payroll-tax limits, lower fuel costs — and chose none of them. Instead, they signed a 9.9% income tax and let payroll taxes keep climbing. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-workers-needed-tax-relief-but-olympia-gave-them-something-else/ #IncomeTax #WashingtonState #TaxPolicy #WorkerRights #Olympia #WACares #PaidLeave #Opinion #ClarkCounty #WashingtonPolicyCenter

After the Washington Supreme Court blocked a referendum on the new 9.9% tax on income over $1 million, Let's Go Washington launched Initiative to the People 26-645 — a measure that would repeal the tax and ban future income taxes statewide. Columnist Nancy Churchill argues the effort goes beyond one tax rate, pointing to Sen. Jamie Pedersen's communications with the Attorney General's Office and Democrats' rejection of amendments that would have prevented the threshold from dropping below $1 million. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-income-tax-battle-round-two-signatures-needed/ #IP26645 #WashingtonStateTax #LetsGoWashington #IncomeTax #TaxRepeal #WashingtonPolitics #Initiative #NancyChurchill #DangerousRhetoric #Opinion ---

Thurston County Superior Court Judge John Skinder rejected a lawsuit targeting House Bill 1296, Washington's rewritten parental rights law.

Jonathan Hines argues that IP26-645 isn't a partisan fight — it's a defense of a voter mandate that Washington has reaffirmed ten times since 1934. With over 400,000 signatures needed by July 2, he warns that letting the millionaire tax stand creates the legal architecture for a broader income tax on every working family. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-why-petition-ip26-645-is-a-stand-for-the-people-not-a-political-party/ #IP26645 #WashingtonTax #IncomeТax #TaxRepeal #WashingtonState #Opinion #ClarkCounty #Petition #StatePolitics #VoterRights

Venice.ai founder Jesse Proudman says Washington's new income tax is the final blow — and he's not alone. An April 2026 AWB survey found 24% of employers are considering leaving the state.

FEMA is reimbursing Washington state $538 million in COVID-era costs — money that sat delayed for years while hospitals absorbed billions in losses. Sen.

A 7-2 C-TRAN board vote to extend light rail to Library Square, the loss of a WPA-era shelter at Lewisville Regional Park, two Vancouver bowlers helping Alabama A&M reach the NCAA championships, and 40-plus students at a skilled trades job fair defined Clark County's week. https://mailchi.mp/clarkcountytoday/this-weeks-top-news_may_15_2026 #ClarkCounty #CTRAN #LightRail #LewisvilleRegionalPark #ClarkCountyToday #Vancouver #Transportation #SkillledTrades #HBCUSports #WeekInReview ---
