Gov. Inslee, GOP spar over vetoed tax break for manufacturers

EVERETT — Gov. Jay Inslee defended his decision to veto a tax break for manufacturers, saying it felt unfair to him to raise property taxes on homeowners while giving business interests “sugar candy tax cuts.”

Inslee paired the higher property taxes with the nixed tax break in a meeting with The Herald editorial board Thursday. Republicans say the issue isn’t settled.

“I know almost every property owner in Snohomish County is going to get a tax increase,” Inslee said. “Going to them and explaining we just increased your taxes, but cut it for a business person with a good lobbyist — that’s not a good numerical equation.”

Lawmakers agreed to an overall state budget that includes the single largest property tax increase in state history to fund public schools as demanded by the Supreme Court in the McCleary case.

In the same budget, lawmakers also agreed to extend to manufacturers the same tax break that Boeing and other aerospace companies already receive.
