There's still tome to say, "Thanks for the Dough!"

The campaign is a way for parents, students, educators, and community members to voice our support and gratitude for the proposals and our wealthiest neighbors and businesses who will be funding our public schools if these new taxes are adopted.

The new tax proposals on the ultra-wealthy and large corporations (such as on folks who have more than $50 million in financial assets) could generate billions of dollars per year of additional resources for our schools.

Noel Frame (D-Seattle), vice chair of the Senate Ways & Means Committee for Finance. “Now, honoring our responsibility to Washingtonians, we are releasing this proposal for new revenue. Rather than balance our budget entirely through devastating cuts or doubling-down on our regressive tax code on the backs of working families, we’re asking the wealthiest among us to finally do their part and pay what they owe so that we can fund great public schools, health care, public safety, and the services that our most vulnerable residents are counting on.”
