Washington Legislature adjourns without addressing data center tax, Sound Transit bonding

Washington lawmakers adjourned on time without a special session, wrapping up a legislative session in which Democrats advanced major budget and transportation plans but left several high-profile proposals unfinished. The Legislature approved a new tax on wealthy residents that Democrats are counting on to help balance the budget within three years, though the measure is expected to face a court challenge. Lawmakers also declined to move forward with a proposal to repeal tax breaks for data centers after concerns emerged late in the session. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/washington-legislature-adjourns-without-addressing-data-center-tax-sound-transit-bonding-bob-ferguson-jamie-pederson-brian-heywood-budget-session-olympia _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ https://twitter.com/komonews http://instagram.com/komo4 https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
