Olympia lawmakers heard sharp testimony Tuesday as supporters and critics squared off over a proposed “millionaires tax,” a measure opponents say is unconstitutional and likely to spark an immediate court challenge that could reach the Washington Supreme Court.
Supporters describe the proposal as a tax on the wealthy. Opponents argue it amounts to an income tax that violates the state constitution.
Former Attorney General Rob McKenna also urged lawmakers to pursue a different approach during Tuesday’s public hearing before the Washington House Finance Committee.

KOMO News asked McKenna whether an income tax has been politically untouchable and what is different now.
