Four Republican state senators announce they have formed a Tax Watchdog Committee as a result of what they say is a sense of frustration among voters over the halting of I-976 along with a lack of trust and confidence in government. One issue for the committee is an increase in the business and occupancy tax that resulted in what one committee member says is a billion dollars in revenue. Members also say they’re concermed over Governor Jay Inslee’s plans to use state reserves for homeless programs.
