Washington State PTA weighed in on SB 5813, increasing funding to the Education Legacy Trust Account (ELTA), on Wednesday, April 16. The bill was one of many being proposed to fill in the approximately $16 billion shortfall facing the state over the next four years.
Former Advocacy Director Lizzy Sebring shared WSPTA’s support for increases to the capital gains tax and the estate tax, saying that the tax sources are progressive, tested, and proven and, because they are solely dedicated to the ELTA are worthy of support.
