Opposition to WA HB 2079

I am writing to express my strong opposition to WA HB 2079, which proposes an increase in alcohol taxes. While I understand the intent to generate additional revenue, this measure would disproportionately impact small businesses, local breweries, and consumers in our community. These businesses are vital to our economy and culture, and placing undue financial strain on them could have long-lasting negative effects. I urge you to consider alternative revenue streams or more equitable taxation methods that do not unfairly target specific industries or communities. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for representing the interests of your constituents.
