State voters open to cutting some tax breaks, poll finds
A new KING 5 News poll finds voters might be open to getting rid of some tax breaks.
One of the more obscure tax breaks comes when farmers buy wood shavings or straw for chicken bedding, or when they buy propane or natural gas to keep chickens warm. The state doesn't charge them sales tax.
"Now, we do not provide blankets to our children. We don't provide heating for homes and the other thing is, last time I looked, chickens have feathers," said Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way.
