Washington 14th District State Rep. Chris Corry has filed a new bill he says would help cities and counties address revenue challenges without increasing taxes.  Corry’s House Bill 2436 calls for the state tax to be reduced by 0.5% while allowing cities and counties the ability to raise their sales tax by 0.5% to get the revenue they need if they get voter approval.  He says that under his bill the state takes less, and local jurisdictions can work with their constituents to keep that money local.  Corry adds he is particularly concerned with Senate Bill 5770, a bill first introduced late last session, that would raise the more than 20-year-old 1% cap on the growth of state and local property taxes to 3%.   It received a hearing in the Senate Ways and Means Committee on Jan. 18.
