Hey #WashingtonState and especially those in #WhatcomCounty: Call the legislative hotline today at 800-562-6000 in support of SB 6346, the Millionaires Tax. It has passed the Senate, but now needs a vote in the state House and Representative Alicia Rule of the 42nd district needs to hear we support it. Call today!
The votes weren’t there yet late Wednesday for Democrats’ income tax bill in the Washington state House. Democratic members are withholding support for the proposed income tax on millionaires, saying they want to see if a new version of the controversial legislation, possibly due out Thursday, will satisfy their concerns.
Here is the Washington State code regarding state and local law enforcement agency interactions with ICE.

Across Washington, communities are concerned about increased immigration enforcement activity. This guidance summarizes general information about limitations on federal immigration enforcement power, limits on state and local agencies from participating in immigration enforcement, and the rights of individuals and entities within Washington. This guidance is based on current law as of the date indicated below and it is not legal advice. As always, individuals, agencies, and other entities are encouraged to discuss all legal issues and questions with their attorneys.

Be advised you may want to seek legal advice and/or consult your local law enforcement agency before you refuse service to ICE.

Hey Whatcom County: fill out the poll for Cascadia Daily's "Citizens Agenda" and shape the questions they will ask of local candidates. In particular, I encourage you to pick #15 about Ranked Choice Voting and #36 about Gerrymandering, but there are a lot of other good topics on there too.
