Dear Rep. Derek Stanford, Rep. Luis Moscoso, and Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe:

I represent Foggy Noggin Brewing, a small business located in your district. I am asking you to oppose the tax hike on Washington State craft brewers.

This proposed tax increase would double or quadruple taxes on craft beer producers. This hike, one of the largest one-time tax increases in state history, would hurt a growing industry, threaten jobs and damage our economy.

We just began our fourth year of being in business and we’re starting to plan a small expansion, but feel this tax hike will financially constrain any potential expansion in our current future.

This proposed tax hike poses a significant threat to my business. As your constituent, I strongly urge you to oppose this tax hike.

Jim Jamison, Manager of Foggy Noggin Brewing LLC in Bothell
