Initiative 1366
Initiative-1366 from Tim Eyman orders the legislature to send a constitutional amendment to the voters next year requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to close tax loopholes or raise revenue. If legislators refuse, Eyman’s initiative would create an $8 billion hole in our state budget over the next six years by cutting the sales tax by a full 1 percent.
Whatcom County is governed by a charter – essentially, a county constitution. In 2014, Whatcom County voters elected 15 charter review commissioners tasked with reviewing the charter and suggesting amendments. Unfortunately, a right-leaning majority on the commission has suggested amendments that would fundamentally change how county government is elected.
