Facts vs. Myths: Understanding Washington’s Millionaire’s Tax (Senate Bill 6346)

In this timely and informative session, we unpack Senate Bill 6346, Washington state’s proposed Millionaire’s Tax, which would establish a 9.9% income tax on annual earnings above $1 million. We walk through what the bill actually does—including its projected revenue impact, who would be affected, how funds would support K-12 education, health care, childcare, and public defense services, and the tax relief provisions for small businesses and working families.

This webinar also tackles the most common misconceptions:

  • Does the tax apply to all income or only income above $1M?
  • Will it impact home sales or investment income?
  • Could the income tax threshold be lowered later?
  • Is it constitutional under Washington law?

Policy experts separate realities from rumors, giving you the clear, factual information you need to understand what SB 6346 means for Washington taxpayers, communities, and the state’s long-term fiscal health. Students from across Washington state ask questions and provide feedback.

Meet the panelists:

  • Diya Babu, a student at Eastlake High School in the Lake Washington School District and a member of the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL)
  • Royale Hill-Gonzalez, a student at Chiawana High School in the Pasco School District and a member of AWSL
  • Kaitlin Butterfield, a student at Reardan High School in the Reardan-Edwall School District and a member of AWSL
  • Kaitlyn Forehand, a student at North Creek High School in the Northshore School District and a member of AWSL
  • Emily Vyhnanek, Associate Director of Campaigns at the Washington State Budget & Policy Center
  • Emma Scalzo, Executive Director of the Balance Our Tax Code Coalition

Moderated by Arik Korman, CEO of League of Education Voters.

Artificial Intelligence in Education

Students from South Shore PreK-8

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay. As this technology continues to evolve, educators must prepare students to understand and use these tools. In Washington state, educators are already integrating AI-assisted technologies in schools and empowering students to do the same.

In this free webinar, we will spotlight how AI is now being used in the classroom, explore which guardrails must be in place to protect students and families, and discuss skills students will need to be ready for the workforce.
