This feels sleazy...just like the "capital gains" INCOME tax that Inslee tried to invoke. Fortunately, the courts shut that down. I'm hoping the same thing happens here. This is a TAX, not a fee. Our taxes pay for these services...TAXES. The government is loose with it's "fee vs tax" mentality. We need to vote these people OUT.

In the first article about this, the "committee" referenced a $2,000 tax on a $600,000 house and how this new "fee" would be inconsequential. A $600,000 house in Thurston has a $7,000-$8,000 tax.
