Property tax hikes incoming? Rep. Jim Walsh sounds the alarm
Apr 1, 2025
Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, speaks out on three dangerous property tax proposals—House Bill 2049, House Bill 1334, and Senate Bill 5798.
Each of these bills proposes a new way to raise property taxes even faster, worsening a system that’s already pushing people out of their homes. Walsh explains how Washington’s backward “budget-based” tax structure puts government wants ahead of taxpayers’ ability to pay—and how these proposals pour gasoline on an already burning fire.
“These bills don’t fix our broken system,” says Walsh. “They make it worse. We need real reform—based on market value, not government greed.”
