Washington Realtors oppose Initiative 1033

We're just received word that the Washington Association of Realtors' Legislative Steering Committee voted unanomously at their fall conference to reject Initiative 1033. This is great news, and means the coalition against Initiative 1033 continues to grow in strength.

Realtors oppose Initiative 1033 because they appreciate that essential public services make our quality of life possible. Initiative 1033 would freeze services at their current levels, trapping Washington in a permanent recession and savaging any chance of an economic recovery.

New page: Stability of Washington's Revenue, Expenditures

We've just added a new page, complete with graphs, which refutes Tim Eyman's assertion that our state's revenue and expenditures are somehow out of control. As the graphs show, both revenue and expenditures tend to rise and fall with the economy, and as a percentage of personal income - which is the only widely used accurate method of measuring them - they're stable.

More Documents Added

We're added a number of new documents in our Critical Analysis section for voters interested in learning more about the impacts of Initiative 1033. Included are materials from the Washington Hospital Association, Washington Research Council, City of Port Angeles, and Senate Committee Services. Note that some of these materials are intended for educational purposes only.
