Higher taxes loom in Olympia as indirect revenue stalls
State officials warn taxes will rise to about thirteen million dollars under current law unless lawmakers boost indirect revenue. Auditor Clausen says even with a state levy increase, indirect sources will fall short by a million. Key indirect funds include land office, corporate fees, insurance taxes, and liquor licenses, with liquor revenue at risk if more areas go dry. House votes favor delaying changes in the liquor action law to curb direct tax hikes and focus on spending cuts.
