Today at 10:30am, I will be testifying in-person against a really bad bill that makes it easier for governments to raise property taxes (SJR 8207).

Since the hearing starts really soon, the best way for you to help to stop it is by submitting written testimony (which they’ll make part of the official record as long as you send it in before the end of today). 

IN WRITING: click here and where it asks “Search by bill number” type in 8207 and hit enter. Then look to the right side of the page — in dark green is an icon that reads: “Sign up to testify — submit written testimony” — click on that. SJR 8207 should have an X already marked next to it. Scan below that and look for: “I would like to submit written testimony.” Click on that and then fill out the form with your information and written testimony.

Feel free to copy and paste this (or write something on your own — tell them how you feel!).

Property taxes are already a tremendous burden on everyone, especially working class families and senior citizens. And that’s the case even with our property tax cap that voters passed in 2001 and the legislature renewed in 2007. SJR 8207 makes it easier for governments to raise property taxes even more. There’s a reason the Constitution requires a 60% vote of the people for bonds — they are often imposed for decades and NOT JUST PROPERTY OWNERS VOTE ON THEM. If they’re going to massively raise property taxes, it needs to be a high bar. And the 60% vote threshold has been in our state Constitution for over a hundred years. There couldn’t be a worse time for SJR 8207.

Doing this will really help.

I urge everyone to join me in fighting against this really bad bill that would hurt a lot of people.

Before the end of today, please provide your written testimony against it. 

Thanks to your prayers, your friendship, and your support, I’ve been able to keep fighting.

I urge you to support the Tim Eyman Legal Defense Fund so Richard can get the AG’s ridiculously unconstitutional ruling overturned.

Every time you help me is another chance for you to make sure Bob Ferguson fails to stop us!
