Bellingham Initiative 3 pertains to labor neutrality and the use of government funds, directly or indirectly, to discourage unionization efforts. If approved by voters, the initiative will prohibit city funds from blocking unionization and will support workers’ union participation. Further, the measure includes protections to fairly enforce these policies so that workers’ rights are respected and strengthened.
This measure benefits everyone by separating government influence from unionization efforts, bringing Bellingham into greater compliance with the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935, and putting the city government into a more appropriate, neutral position on labor issues.

State Advisory Vote No. 36
This spring, lawmakers passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1477 to expand the state’s crisis response system to include a new hotline dealing exclusively with mental health emergencies.
Because of a Tim Eyman initiative, the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a nonbinding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2021 session, resulting in several advisory votes appearing on the ballot. We hope the Legislature will change the law to remove these meaningless measures in the future.
