Rep. Gloria Mendoza, R-Grandview, joined KONA’s Robb Francis and John McKay at the Central Washington Fairgrounds in Yakima, where she voiced concerns over Democrats passing the largest tax increase in state history. Mendoza said Gov. Bob Ferguson talked about improving affordability in Washington state during his inaugural speech in January.
