Income Tax Emails Continue To Fuel Washington Debate + Court Rule Could Cost Counties Millions

Washington's Supreme Court race continues to spotlight major questions about judicial decision-making, public defender caseload standards, county budgets, and the separation between interpreting the law and making public policy. The show also examines newly released records surrounding Washington's income tax legislation after the Attorney General's Office dismissed previous reporting as "no story." Investigative reporter TJ Martinell explains why the documents continue to draw statewide attention. Finally, we highlight the remarkable success of Jenny Burton's Out Impact Coalition. Former inmate Tone Williams shares how the program helped transform his life after serving 13 years in prison, while retired Seattle Police Deputy Chief Eric Barden explains why rehabilitation can improve public safety while reducing taxpayer costs.
