Former Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, speaking for the "Yes on 645" campaign, argues that this income tax will soon be levied on all Washingtonians. Economic Opportunity Institute Executive Director Rian Watt says repeal of the tax would threaten funding for schools, health care, and other critical public services. City Inside/Out host Brian Callanan breaks down the debate over I-645.
