And there was some discussion from some of the lawmakers that we better figure out how to make sure that the really smart, tech-savvy people here in Washington who also earn a lot of money can't figure out a way to make it so they aren't subject to the new income tax.

This is Senator Noel Frame, who's a Democrat from Ballard and a member of the Income Tax Advisory Work Group.

My big takeaway from the presentation last week Was like the complexities in like 15% of the entities, but that's also like 85% of the revenue.

It's like an inverse relationship, right? So like the thing that I've been noodling on is like we were trying so hard for simplicity and trying to make this as easy as possible to comply with, and we wanna try to maintain that.
