Re: “Clear alternative for Seattle council: new income, not funds cuts” [Feb. 27, Opinion]:
Sure, to Seattle Metropolis Councilmember Tammy Morales’ name for brand spanking new, progressive income, not funds cuts, to housing affordability, homeless companies and different important native packages.
Moreover guaranteeing that the wealthiest pay their justifiable share, let’s ask our U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, and Congress members, to share extra of our federal tax {dollars} to fulfill wants for our properties, well being and faculties as a substitute of sending extra bombs to destroy different folks’s properties, faculties, hospitals and well being.
Now greater than ever, we want new insurance policies just like the Inexperienced New Deal payments to maneuver our cash, divest from battle and put money into higher lives for all.
