For decades, Washington attracted more people and more income than it lost. But that trend has now reversed. For the second year in a row, more income has left the state than arrived. And for the third year in a row, IRS data shows Washington is losing more taxpayers to migration than it gains.

Earlier this year, Gov. Bob Ferguson signed HB 2266 into law, which allows permanent supportive housing for drug addicted folks statewide with no treatment required, in ANY neighborhood in our state. Local jurisdictions cannot say no.
While far left WA State leaders passed record tax increases, they failed to investigate daycares with no children receiving taxpayer funds according to The Center Square. This is despite the issue being covered heavily in media.It was reported earlier this year that Governor Ferguson’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) had an un-auditable $416 MILLION of taxpayer funds, according to State Auditor Pat McCarthy (D). Taxpayer funded daycare fraud is being exposed nationwide.And don't forget about the known fraud, waste, and abuse:A squandered $15 BILLION surplus, the largest tax increases and spending spree in state history in back-to-back years (SB 5167 in 2025 & SB 5998 in 2026), $1.17 BILLION in missing COVID money, $646 MILLION of unemployment money being stolen by Nigerian scammers, $340 MILLION going to non-citizens, and so much more.Imagine what these BILLIONS alone could have paid for.It's well past time for state government to be responsible and accountable with your money.Sources: The Center Square, Cascade PBS News, Fox News, SB 5067, SB 5998, & SB 5187 (2023-24)#UnaccountableWA #UnaffordableWA #ReinstateAccountability #waleg
