Washington: 7 initiatives possible for ballot
Sponsors of several statewide initiatives are turning in signatures this week, moving them a step closer to having their ideas go before voters this fall. Petitions for a measure to end the state’s hold on hard liquor distribution and sales are in hand. State election officials are preparing to receive initiatives that would repeal new taxes on candy and soda pop, revamp the workers’ compensation system and add an income tax to Washington’s wealthiest.
