Vote NO! on these Initiatives
The Jefferson County Democratics RECOMMENDS A NO! VOTE on these initiatives which will be on the General Election Ballot in November:
I-2109 would repeal Washington's capital gains tax. The tax affects about 3000 of the richest Washingtonians. Last year their capital gains were more than $12 billion!!! so they can afford it. Last year the tax raised more than $850 million for education and school construction. Defeat I-2109 and keep this revenue for our children and schools.
I-2117 would repeal the Climate Commitment Act, Governor Inslee's signature accomplishment in our efforts to respond to the climate crisis. The Act has already raised more than $2 billion and is redirecting money from polluters to green energy and transportation programs.
I-2124 - Seeks to dismantle WA Cares, Washington's long-term care benefit program, potentially stripping over 3 million workers of over $8.1 billion in guaranteed, earned benefits.
I-2066 - Increases energy bills and attacks energy efficiency by repealing and prohibiting commonsense protections
