Holy moly, Olympia is dropping the hammer on expired tabs: Tow trucks snatching cars off streets, agents hunting your ride in private parking garages, up to a YEAR in jail for out-of-state plate dodgers. Thought it was just higher fines? Scroll the bill text, it's next-level. What's your take? #CarTabs #WaLeg #SeattleNews #ExpiredTabs

Exclusive from KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM🎙: I obtained the draft income tax bill circulating in Olympia. It imposes a 9.9 percent tax on income over $1 million starting in 2029, with a $1 million deduction per person (shared for couples). Estimated to raise over $3 billion a year.Notable parts: Explicitly overrides the voter-approved Initiative 2111 ban on income taxes. Includes a jock tax on nonresident athletes based on duty days in Washington. No carryforward for losses. Lawmakers confirm it's real, though the governor's office says it's not theirs.

Scoop from Washington State Standard's Jerry Cornfield on Seattle's Morning News: WA income tax draft targets visiting athletes with a "jock tax." A player making $10 million could owe about $58,000 just for one game in Seattle. Think a Rams guy playing at Lumen Field. Seahawks players pay on every home game too. It could even extend to college NIL earners and touring performers. Voters banned income taxes in 2024. Long road ahead. Thoughts?

Today's commentary: Metro hired 30 full-time fare enforcement operators. They spent a combined 1200 hours a week on the buses, where we know 35% of riders aren't paying. Between May and the end of 2025, it was ~30,000 combined hours. How many total citations were issued in that time frame? EIGHT.
