| Subject: Amazon Wins: Seattle City Council Votes to Repeal Head Tax Tue Jun 12, 2018 10:06 pm | |
| In a humiliating reversal, the Seattle City Council voted to repeal an employee hours tax passed unanimously less than a month ago, pleasing large businesses and leaving service providers wondering where the local government will get the money it desperately needs to solve the growing housing crisis.
The repeal passed 7 to 2 during a raucous special meeting that often erupted into pandemonium. With their vote today, council members stripped away a new ordinance that would have collected $275 per employee from businesses grossing more than $20 million annually, about three percent of businesses in Seattle.
