ACS Puget Sound: Case Discussion Group

This month's case will be Quinn/Clayton et al v. State of Washington. This is the case out of Douglas county starting the long march up to the State Supreme Court tackling the issue of whether the State can pass a progressive capital gains tax. A Douglas county trial court just ruled that the statute is unconstitutional. The authority is quite interesting, and this is a cutting-edge issue here in Washington as we try and find a way to meet our funding obligations.
