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. She makes the case for universal licensure recognition — already adopted by 28 states — as a broader fix. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-fix-licensing-expand-access-lower-costs-free-workers/ #OccupationalLicensing #WorkerRights #WashingtonState #PolicyBrief #WashingtonPolicyCenter #LicensureReform #ClarkCounty #Opinion

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

On May 15, Washington's Professional Educator Standards Board votes on rules that could suspend or end a superintendent's career for notifying parents about their child's gender transition at school.

Washington Policy Center's Ryan Frost asks a pointed question: what evidence would actually convince state leaders that high earners and businesses are leaving? With net migration down 7,500, capital gains collections off more than 50%, and 24% of employers considering relocation, Frost argues the data is already there — and being ignored. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-what-would-it-take-for-elected-officials-to-believe-high-earners-are-leaving-washington/ #WashingtonState #CapitalFlight #IncomeTax #TaxPolicy #WashingtonPolicyCenter #BusinessRelocation #StateBudget #Opinion #PacificNorthwest #ClarkCounty

Washington teachers spend an average of $1,041 a year on classroom supplies out of pocket — 11th highest in the nation. Vicki Murray of the Washington Policy Center argues a new federal tax-credit scholarship could change that, but only if Gov. Ferguson opts in before January 1, 2027.

Elizabeth New (Hovde) of the Washington Policy Center breaks down a critical gap in WA Cares Fund guidance: family caregivers registering through CDWA are automatically subject to a union contract with SEIU 775 — and the state's own materials don't make that clear. Benefits open July 1. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-wa-cares-important-information-is-still-mia-but-benefits-are-available-for-some-in-july/ #WACares #LongTermCare #CaregiverRights #UnionDues #WashingtonState #Opinion #ClarkCounty ---

Washington gas prices have shattered the statewide record at $5.67 per gallon, with Seattle hitting $5.91 and San Juan County at $6.60. Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center says the Climate Commitment Act and a 55.4-cent excise tax together add more than a dollar per gallon before the cost of fuel is even calculated. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/state-taxes-climate-policy-send-wa-gas-prices-to-record-highs/ #WashingtonState #GasPrices #ClimateCommitmentAct #CarbonTax #WAgov #FuelCosts #Transportation #EnergyPolicy #PacificNorthwest #ClarkCounty

Governor Bob Ferguson vetoed $500,000 for a proven retail theft program despite Washington losing $2.7 billion annually to organized crime. Mark Harmsworth from Washington Policy Center explains how the pilot program generated 402 law enforcement responses and filed 142 cases in King County alone. The decision abandons effective enforcement while retailers face escalating losses and consumers pay higher prices. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-washingtons-retail-theft-crisis-is-getting-worse-and-gov-fergusons-veto-wont-help/ #RetailTheft #WashingtonPolitics #OrganizedCrime #Ferguson #LawEnforcement #SmallBusiness #PublicSafety #WashingtonPolicy #Crime #Budget

Senator Jamie Pedersen and Solicitor General Noah Purcell coordinated to craft ESSB 6346 with one goal: force the Washington Supreme Court to overturn Culliton v. Chase while blocking voters from referring the statute to the ballot. Internal emails reveal the necessity clause was inserted specifically to prevent referendum despite the tax not taking effect until 2028. Ryan Frost from Washington Policy Center exposes how lawmakers abandoned the constitutional amendment process that requires voter approval. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-internal-emails-show-income-tax-bill-was-designed-to-bypass-the-constitution-and-lock-out-voters/ #WashingtonTax #ConstitutionalChallenge #VoterRights #Culliton #IncomeTax #WashingtonPolitics #TaxPolicy #SupremeCourt #Referendum #Constitution

Donald Kimball from Washington Policy Center examines the delicate balance teachers face with artificial intelligence in education. While AI tools offer unprecedented learning opportunities, they risk students outsourcing critical thinking to machines. Kimball argues education choice allows families to find AI policies matching their children's unique needs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all government approaches. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-how-should-teachers-adapt-to-ai/ #AI #Education #Teachers #WashingtonState #EducationChoice #Technology #CriticalThinking #LearningTools #ClassroomTech #Opinion

Ryan Frost from Washington Policy Center exposes the fundamental flaw in Washington's approach to tax reform: lawmakers can always spend beyond revenue and simply raise taxes to cover the difference. Despite a decade of new taxes including capital gains and income taxes, the state still faces multi-billion-dollar deficits because spending has outpaced revenue growth since 2013. Frost argues only a constitutional spending limit tied to population growth and inflation can force the legislature to make real tradeoffs instead of perpetually increasing the tax burden on residents and businesses. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-the-path-to-real-tax-reform-requires-a-spending-limit/ #TaxReform #WashingtonPolitics #SpendingLimit #Opinion #Budget #Taxes #ConstitutionalAmendment #FiscalPolicy #Government #Accountability

Protests, online petitions, and legislator outreach rarely shift state policy, says Todd Myers of Washington Policy Center. He argues lasting public impact comes from local, diverse efforts and genuine civic involvement. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-the-growing-gap-between-public-voice-and-political-power/ #WashingtonState #Politics #PublicEngagement #Opinion #CommunityAction #Protest #Government #LocalPolitics #WAPol #CivicParticipation

Elizabeth New of Washington Policy Center highlights how HB 2355 will force households hiring nannies, cleaners, or gardeners to maintain wage records, provide written contracts, and follow new rules starting in 2027.

Free school meals are being highlighted as a key benefit tied to Washington's proposed income tax, but Elizabeth New argues the policy comes with hidden costs. In this opinion column, the Washington Policy Center analyst examines Senate Bill 6346 and questions whether universal meal programs and expanded tax credits are the best use of taxpayer dollars. New contends the state's budget challenges stem from spending decisions rather than a lack of revenue and calls on lawmakers to prioritize targeted safety nets instead of broad new programs funded by an income tax.

A financial services company that moved out of Washington last year found hiring easier, costs lower and employee satisfaction higher in its new location. In this opinion column, Mark Harmsworth of the Washington Policy Center argues that taxes such as the capital gains tax and the proposed income tax are only part of the reason some businesses are relocating. Harmsworth says uncertainty about future policy, hiring challenges and rising costs are also influencing decisions by employers considering whether to stay in Washington.

A proposed “Millionaires' Tax” in Washington is drawing sharp criticism from a budget analyst who says the final plan does not meet the governor's own standards. Ryan Frost of the Washington Policy Center argues the income tax proposal returns far less revenue to taxpayers than Gov. Bob Ferguson publicly demanded and could become the largest tax increase in state history. In this episode, we break down the tax relief claims, the projected revenue, and why critics say the policy falls short of its stated goals.

Just weeks after Washington expanded unemployment insurance eligibility to striking workers, new numbers show 106 workers have already received 415 weeks of benefits. In this opinion column, Washington Policy Center analyst Elizabeth New argues that Senate Bill 5041 could strain the unemployment insurance fund and shift costs onto employers and taxpayers.
