Washington Budget

To: Gov. Ferguson

From: A verified voter in Auburn, WA

April 18, 2025

I am deeply troubled by your lack of movement on a common sense budget to help fix the $16 Billion dollar deficit. Why are you so afraid of new taxes? A wealth tax on the ultra- wealthy might not straight up fix the deficit, but coupled with a payroll tax on large corporations they would go a long way to help. But instead, you would rather punish working class Federal worker by forcing them to lose income every single month. You have nine days left to get your act together before this legislative session ends. Grow a spine and impose taxes on those who can certainly afford it! Show working class Washingtonians that we chose well when we voted for you. There are certainly more of us than there are of the ultra-wealthy. When it comes down to voting numbers, which do you think put you in the Governor's seat? Yeah. Us. The working class. We certainly won't forget next election cycle if you choose to kowtow to them instead of standing up for us.
