Evergreen Freedom Foundation and Pro-Taxpayer Groups File Amicus Brief to Protect Supermajority
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation has filed an Amicus Brief with the State Supreme Court supporting the constitutionality of Initiative 601, passed by the voters in 1993. The initiative requires supermajority legislative votes to raise taxes.
Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown (D-Spokane) filed the case after was unable to garner enough votes to supersede the supermajority required under the law to reimpose higher taxes on distilled spirits.
Americans for Tax Reform and several other pro-taxpayer groups joined the Evergreen Freedom Foundation in filing the Amicus Brief. The case will be heard in September.
