This Website was created and is maintained by The Seattle Times. The Seattle Times is one of the last family owned and operated metropolitan newspapers left in America. The death tax is the single most devastating obstacle to American family business. The newspaper industry is no exception. Because of the death tax our nation has seen the number of locally owned, family newspapers steadily shrink. Unless the death tax is repealed soon there will be no more family and locally owned newspapers early in the next century. We have been working in conjunction with several organizations who have the similar interest in this issue. These organizations are listed below.
