King Proposes Using Aerospace Tax Revenue For Fish Passage

Washington 14th District State Senator Curtis King has proposed that the $196 million expected from Boeing in 2020-21 from the aerospace tax incentive reform bill be used to fund fish passage projects around the state.  Along with Senator Marko Liias of Lynwood, King is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 6690, which would capture the projected $196 million from Boeing during 2020-21.   It is possible that the projected funds could be cut short if the bill’s trigger mechanism is activated through settlement of Boeing’s World Trade Organization dispute over subsidies, which led to the reform bill.  However, it is also possible that more fish passage could be remediated since the $196 million only accounts for expected revenue from the Boeing portion of the aerospace sector.  King is the ranking Republican member of the Senate Transportation Committee.
