The Seattle Times Editorial Board: Initiative 2109

The Seattle Times Editorial Board interviews supporters and opponents of Initiative 2109.

Initiative Measure No. 2109 concerns taxes. This measure would repeal an excise tax imposed on the sale or exchange of certain long-term capital assets by individuals who have annual capital gains of over $250,000. This measure would decrease funding for K-12 education, higher education, school construction, early learning, and childcare.
