This week, a meaningful opportunity for Washington State to fix its inequitable tax code and stabilize our state’s overall health was introduced in the legislature. This Millionaires Tax (HB 2725/SB 6346) will be a major structural shift in the direction of fairness and tax justice. It asks millionaires to pay a little more while we bolster sufficient funding for essential programs and become less reliant on regressive taxes like the sales and property tax.

When you are raising young kids who learn at the speed of light, you have to do what you can to keep up with them. You have to evolve, and you have to adapt. You learn very quickly as a parent that taking the weight of the world on your own is not an option. Parents roll up their sleeves, they...

Instead of ripping away safety nets for kids and families, we can equitably tax the very wealthy and create new, progressive revenue for our state that will balance our state budget for years to come. Navigating budget shortfalls is a hefty task—but the solution isn’t to balance the budget on the backs of children and families. We have other options available to us, and the scale of the challenges facing Washington families demands that our Governor and state legislature utilize every tool we have to protect child care and early learning investments.

This is not an annoying steering wheel picture. It marks one major event in my January—my nail artist moved out of the city. Because I couldn't find another artist I like as much, I now drive one hour every month to a town thirty-five miles away to get my nails done. My nail artist moved for, in...
