Over 600 use Seattle Times’ “Ax and Tax” to Solve Washington’s Budget Woes
More than 600 people submitted budgets to The Seattle Times’ recent "Ax and Tax" interactive state budget balancing game.
Between April 20 and April 29, 604 people told The Times their thoughts on what state programs to cut and what taxes to add to fix the state’s $2.65 billion budget deficit. Nearly 90 percent of those users submitted a balanced or surplus budget, according to a recent Times article.
