Looking back at the debate on added revenue sources for regional transit authority areas

One of the more contentious pieces of legislation in the 2022 Washington State Legislature was SSB 5528, which concerned the imposition of additive revenue sources within a regional transit authority area. The bill passed the Senate on February 11 by a vote of 28-21, then moved over to the House. The bill narrowly passed the House on March 3 by a vote of 50-48. The Senate then concurred with the House’s amendments, receiving a 29-18 vote. The bill now goes onto the Governor’s office, where it has an opportunity to be signed into law.
