Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Bill Gates Sr. wants estate tax back on books in Washington

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Bill Gates Sr. wants estate tax back on books in Washington: "Taxing the estates of wealthy Washingtonians to provide essential services to the state 'is a very sensible, very socially responsible thing to do,' Bill Gates Sr. said Tuesday.
Gates, the father of Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates and co-chairman of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was joined by Democratic lawmakers and others who support restoring the state estate tax, which was overturned in February by the state Supreme Court."
