washington's sales tax exemption is on hold right now because the judge decided it would be best for the state to NOT uphold that exemption because they will be out $200 mill a year. they will hopefully pass that judgment of NOT imposing the exemption because they also say it's none of their business what some other province in Canada is doing.
