Dear editor 

As a proud union member, I believe everyone in our community deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams, no matter what they look like or where they come from. But our upside-down tax code means that working families like the ones my union represents are paying more than what they owe in state and local taxes while the ultra-wealthy aren't paying enough. Our elected legislators have the opportunity to pass a Millionaire's Tax in 2026 to fund the core programs that union members and our neighbors rely on for work, to access healthcare, and to send our kids to school, while making our tax code more equitable and sustainable. 

Sincerely,
Corina Yballa
