At a time of record unemployment, should the Department of Licensing continue to collect car tabs above $30? I urge the Gov to suspend collection below. https://t.co/oTbhCDMuM7

I also sent a letter to the Gov asking for a proclamation suspending collection of car tab taxes taxes. No answer. https://t.co/RnahTQY64p
My Brexit-inspired plan to rescue Pierce from car tabs, other ST3 taxes on our homes & retail sales. Im calling it #Trexit. I-976 told us Pierce (and Snoho) County voters do not see value of light rail, while King Co does. Accept reality-let Pierce exit. https://t.co/EXh3cSEA19?
Great news! Judge reverses prior decision and upholds I-976! Pierce intervened under f@brucedammeieri leadership-may have been the difference. Expect Seattle to appeal. HOWEVER, oddly, Sound Transit will continue to collect absurd fee till trial. https://t.co/N9mxwqDPND
Orting eliminates local car tab fees in nod to voters who approved Initiative 976 https://t.co/2MLyy9qkX7
WSSC Decision: Sound Transit MVET upheld, in divided court, 7-2. Disappointing of course, but most importantly, I-976 ($30 car tabs) superseded the ST MVET and ST3. Decision underscores need for #legwa in session now, to pass my bill to enact $30 car tabs not leave to courts. https://t.co/NxFBsmNRFx
RT @jtwilcox111: Looks like 5919, the vehicular pursuit fix bill may not pass Senate concurence. It's critical to fix the disastrous poli<U+2026>
Of course Im not anti-transit, just relentless about requiring accountability of Sound Transit: lower car tabs, use Kelley Blue Book-not MSRP, direct bd elections, reforms to prevent another derailment in my district. We shouldnt have to pay for Seattles urban transit system. https://t.co/MHRqfGwsWX
I am pleased to announce I have received an endorsement from the Washington Fire Chiefs. "The Washington Fire Chiefs have chosen to endorse your 2020 election campaign because of your hard work, responsiveness, leadership and support of our fire service related issues." https://t.co/d24Q9jcxWR
Its a bad idea because, as I said at the hearing today-SB 6606 repeals I-976($30 car tabs) in clear contravention of the voters will! https://t.co/iqXpuzfrLl
