Washington: Different perspectives on liquor initiative results
City and county leaders are keeping a watchful eye on the ballot measures to get the state out of the business of selling hard liquor and let the private sector take over. Initiatives 1100 and 1105 would both eliminate a source of hundreds of thousands of dollars for basic services, they say, and it’s unclear whether either one would generate enough revenues to fully fill the gap. Ballots for the mail-in election are due next Tuesday.
