Rep Andrew Barkis – Use vehicle sales tax to fund transportation

Fey amendment would transfer funds from local Washington communities to transportation package. Story: https://loom.ly/QzT1_YA

Rep. Andrew Barkis offered an amendment to the proposed transportation package that would take half the sales taxes collected on automobile sales, and use it for transportation. That would have avoided raiding the state’s general fund by $2 billion and also saved the Public Works account from being raided. Video courtesy TVW
