Death, taxes, and horseplay

Washington has a fraught relationship with taxes. And what that relationship looks like in the future is a big part of your ballot this November. 

In the latest episode of Sound Politics, hosts Scott Greenstone and Libby Denkmann break down two relatively new taxes that voters will decide whether to get rid of: the capital gains tax (which only the richest Washingtonians pay) and the Washington CARES tax (which most voters probably see on their paychecks).
