OLYMPIA, WASH (AP) – State House Democrats released a two-year budget that calls for a tax hike on some businesses and a new capital gains tax.
The revenue would be used to increase state spending on basic education.
40th District Representative Kristine Lytton chairs the House Finance Committee.
Democrats also want a 20 percent rise in the business and occupation tax on the state’s highest grossing businesses.
Senate Republicans released their budget last week.
