Vote NO: Initiative 960
Document Actions
Futurewise has joined a growing coalition opposed to Initiative 960 – on the statewide ballot this November – because it would put funding for conservation and clean-up of natural ecosystems and wildlife habitat at risk.
If I-960 were to pass, innovative efforts to fund conservation or clean-up efforts would have to be sold to a two-thirds majority of legislators – and in many cases to the public as well – as a tax increase, even if they did not raise anyone’s taxes. Millions in state dollars would be wasted on endless ballots and expensive court battles over interpreting I-960, leaving even less funding for important environmental priorities.
Futurewise is joined by many other concerned organizations in opposing this initiative including: Washington Conservation Voters, Washington Environmental Council, the Sierra Club, WashPIRG and the League of Women Voters.
