Sen. Matt Boehnke: Income Tax Debate and Budget Update from Olympia

In this week’s update, Matt Boehnke, R-Kennewick, shares the latest from Olympia as the Senate debates a proposed state income tax that has generated historic public response, with more than 100,000 people signing in CON. Boehnke outlines his concerns about how the proposal could affect families’ everyday costs, including groceries, gas, and small-business operations, and thanks constituents for staying engaged in the legislative process. He also provides an overview of the state’s three major budgets — capital, transportation, and operating. The capital and transportation budgets focus on infrastructure, schools, public safety, and emergency response, while the operating budget negotiations center on overall spending priorities and accountability. Boehnke says he will continue advocating for responsible budgeting, safe communities, and policies that support working families in the 8th Legislative District.
