I've always wondered how Washington didn't have a state income tax - it's political profile would suggest it would.

This will end up at the Supreme Court. The state constitution needs to be amended to change the current tax system in the state. The state Supreme Court has shot these “laws” down several times already

That agent said states with no income tax or lower rates are a bonus but that it doesn't tend to be a deciding factor for players, and that the ones in position to command big money in free agency will still opt for the best deals.
Well yea, obviously. But does he not realize, that in order for his team to have the "best deal", they now need to pay the guy 11% more than those other teams would?
