NEW: Holy crap! Downtown Seattle Association President and CEO John Scholes is going nuclear.
He annihilated the so called "progressive tax" and says it's crippling the downtown business core in Seattle.
With sobering data, Scholes masterfully lays out his case and also acknowledges Bellevue is quickly becoming the new destination for business owners.
Meanwhile, far-left politicians like Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, CM Alexis Mercedes Rinck, and WA State Rep. Shaun Scott claim the "progressive tax" will help revitalize the city.
So who do you believe, Scholes or these socialist elected officials?
