Also this morning, the city council voted to repeal the employee hours tax, a $25-per-employee tax, paid by employers, that exempts employees who don’t drive to work alone. . . . Friends of Seattle sent a last-minute letter to the council earlier this week, pleading with council members to either vote against the repeal or to amend the law to merely suspend the tax temporarily and to track the economic impact of the repeal for a year.
