Seattle's city council unanimously passed a pioneering income tax on the city's highest earners on Monday, a measure that has become a clarion call for Democrats there even though it is likely to face a swift legal challenge over violating state law. The proposal has become a rallying cry for Democrats and activists in the liberal-leaning city who used local opposition to Republican President Donald Trump to advance long sought-after local policies. Washington is one of seven U.S. states without a tax on personal income, and no city in the state has an income tax.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A police report released Monday says a sheriff's deputy in central Louisiana shot and killed a man after his girlfriend jumped on the officer's back, bit him and tried to grab his gun. But the girlfriend's attorney disputed that account of last Thursday's deadly encounter in the community of Mamou.
