This morning, Seattle did what may have never been done before:

This morning,  Seattle did what may have never been done before:  Its City Council voted to delete a city tax before that tax had ever been used in collections. 

Months ago,  the City passed a $500 per employee tax to be paid by every employer in the city  ,    or , at least,  every large employer.  Amazon,  who is moving to that city,  said "No Way."  So the Council voted to lower the tax to $275 per employee.  Amazon said "No," once again.  So,  this morning,  June 12,  the Council voted its own tax down,  before it ever went into effect.
