I appeared on Cascade PBS’s The Newsfeed to discuss Washington’s new 9.9% income tax on high earners and what comes next. The segment focuses on how the law is structured, where it could face constitutional challenges, and what it means for families, founders, and investors.
On air, I flagged a couple practical points: the tax base ties to federal AGI with a $1 million standard deduction, and the statute creates new planning questions for people living, working, or investing in Washington.
