Washington voters will soon have the opportunity to weigh in on four significant initiatives during the November 5 general election. Each measure addresses key areas of energy, taxation, climate policy, and social programs.
- Initiative 2066: This proposal would allow natural gas to remain an energy option in the state, preserving it as part of Washington’s energy mix.
- Initiative 2109: If passed, this initiative would repeal the state’s capital gains excise tax.
- Initiative 2117: Aimed at eliminating the Climate Commitment Act, this initiative would roll back the state’s cap-and-invest program designed to reduce carbon emissions.
- Initiative 2124: This measure would give workers the option to opt in or out of the WA Cares program, a state-run long-term care insurance plan.
WR supports all four of these initiatives, citing the potential benefits for businesses and consumers. Voters will decide the outcome of these impactful measures on November 5.
