Capitol Report with Rep. Schmick: An historic tax hike and a win for public health


Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, discusses the largest proposed tax increase in Washington state history — an increase so extreme, even Governor Bob Ferguson declined to support it. Schmick emphasizes that the issue is overspending, not insufficient revenue. Schmick also highlights the signing of his own bill into law, which expands access to premeasured medications like insulin pens, a common-sense step that he calls a win for the people.
