Washington State Estate-tax repeal may be on ballot

The Seattle Times reports:
An initiative to repeal Washington's estate tax, backed by more than $630,000 in contributions from Seattle developer Martin Selig, appears headed to the November ballot.

Supporters estimate they turned in more 377,000 signatures Friday and say they'll file even more next week. They need 224,880 valid signatures of registered voters by July 7.

Initiative 920 pits two powerful forces against each other — educators who want more money for schools versus the wealthy who don't want their life's worth taxed when they die.
What better proof that government workers "really" don't pay taxes.The teachers salaries' are derived from things like estate taxes,no wonder they are for taxes.Government workers voting is a conflict of interest.
