A Washington state Democrat accidentally emailed a radical tax plan to the entire Senate, according to Seattle-based radio host Jason Rantz.
The tax plan, which includes massive property tax increases and a new 11% tax on guns, directly contradicts the state Democratic Party’s campaign promises, Jason Rantz said.

fox news reported:
Washington state Democrats mistakenly emailed a sweeping revenue plan and internal talking points about tax increases to the entire Senate in Olympia, Fox News has learned.
Property tax hikes and new double-digit taxes on guns are expected to increase in Washington state, according to data originally circulated to all lawmakers in late December by Washington Senate Deputy Leader Noel Frame, D-Seattle, and later obtained by Fox. That’s one of the proposals Democrats are considering. News Digital.
The message included a document titled “2025 Revenue Options” and a PowerPoint presentation outlining how to talk to voters to advocate for the plan.
The document lists proposed figures for an 11% tax on ammunition and firearms, reclassifying storage unit rentals as retail transactions and raising property tax limits for certain Washington residents.
A PowerPoint slide highlighted by Seattle radio host Jason Rantz outlined “the best way to talk about taxes,” complete with a chart of what lawmakers should and shouldn’t do.
