WATCH: Brian Heywood’s Has Spent Over $10 Million to Fight Olympia!
Brian Heywood has spent over $10 million of his own money fighting Olympia — and he has zero plans to stop. - Heywood joins John Curley to respond to Governor Bob Ferguson's new attack campaign against Initiative I-645, which would repeal Washington's 9.9% "millionaire tax." The initiative has already surpassed 500,000 signatures, well above the 308,911 required to hit the ballot.

Today’s article from Intellectual Takeout Dale Farran spent a decade studying over 1,000 kids who went to a state-run pre-kindergarten—and a control group of kids that wanted to, but didn’t get in.
