A team of 8th LD PCOs led by Neil Norman, is publishing a bi-monthly newsletter for the remainder of the 2016 Election Year. The newsletter will be emailed to all PCO’s and Precinct Leaders every two weeks during these last three months before the November elections. Its purpose is to keep PCOs and other 8th LD and Benton County democrats informed, and to seek input from PCOs in order to keep party leaders abreast of Get Out the Vote (GOTV) progress.
Newsletters will include:
A number of initiatives will be on the November ballot.
The first newsletter, emailed Monday, August 8th, provided a capsule summary of some of the initiatives of particular interest:
I-1433 -- would boost the state minimum wage to $13.50 an hour over four years, up from the current $9.47 per hour;
I-1464 -- A "yes" vote supports creating a campaign-finance system allowing residents to direct state funds to qualifying candidates, repeal the non-resident sales-tax exemption, restrict employment of former public employees and lobbying, and revise campaign-finance laws;
I-1491 -- Would authorize courts to issue extreme risk protection orders to remove an individual from access to firearms;
I-1501 -- A "yes" vote supports increasing criminal identity-theft penalties and expanding civil liability for consumer fraud targeting seniors and vulnerable individuals;
I-732 -- would place a carbon emission tax on the sale or use of certain fossil fuels and fossil-fuel-generated electricity, starting at $15 per metric ton of carbon dioxide in 2017;
I-735 -- would urge the Washington state congressional delegation to propose a federal constitutional amendment clarifying that constitutional rights belong only to individuals, not corporations.
Detailed information on all initiatives may be found on the Washington Secretary of State Elections and Voting website, and on Ballotpedia.
