A report released this month by the Mental Health Transformation Project (MHTP) and the Washington Institute for Mental Health Research and Training (WIMHRT) shows that 13 of 39 counties in Washington have adopted E2SSB 5763 — the “1/10th of one-percent” sales tax — to support local mental health programs.  The report provides details of the revenue generated by county and an overview of expenditures.
