Now that the state legislature is back in session and facing the task of cutting more than $1.5 billion from the state budget, it makes sense that legislators would be focused on raising revenues and finding balanced solutions to the budget crisis.
Instead, some Olympia politicians are attacking I-1163, despite the overwhelming support from voters in November. More than 65 percent of Washingtonians voted for common sense protections for seniors and people with disabilities last November, the second time in three years we have sent this priority to the legislature.
I-1163 passed in all 39 counties.
Help protect I-1163, by writing a letter to the editor calling on our legislators to stop ignoring the will of the voters, allow these needed reforms to be implemented, and focus on real solutions to our budget crisis.
Our state needs revenue and a balanced approach to a filling this budget gap. But we cannot continue this all-cuts plan that puts the largest burden on our most vulnerable.
Write a letter to the editor and tell our legislators to listen to the voters and protect seniors.
