Legislators look at rolling back tax breaks to solve budget problem
State lawmakers Wednesday considered various ways of ending corporate tax breaks to help balance the state budget but didn't agree to pursue any of them right away.
People paraded in front of the Senate Ways and Means Committee for more than two hours voicing their views on three measures aimed at generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenues in the next two years.
Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, speaking before the hearing, said he knows Republicans oppose the measures and pushing them could damage relations that wrought passage of a rare bipartisan budget in the Senate.
