Former AG McKenna Blasts AGO Income Tax Collaboration

About this episode

Former Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna delivers sharp criticism of the current AGO's unprecedented collaboration with lawmakers to craft the millionaire's tax specifically designed to overturn 95 years of constitutional precedent while blocking voter input through strategic emergency clauses. McKenna, now part of the legal team challenging the tax, argues the AGO abandoned its constitutional duty by strategizing with legislators on circumventing established law rather than defending it. The revelations from 988 pages of records expose a coordinated effort between Solicitor General Noah Purcell and Sen. Jamie Pedersen to force the state Supreme Court to reinterpret income as non-property, fundamentally reshaping Washington's tax structure without voter approval. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/video-former-wa-ag-rob-mckenna-criticizes-ago-role-in-crafting-millionaires-tax/ #WashingtonPolitics #IncomeTax #Constitution #AttorneyGeneral #TaxPolicy #VoterRights #LegalChallenge #WashingtonState #GovernmentAccountability #ConstitutionalLaw
