Newspapers, blogs, TV, and radio ads are full of pronouncements and predictions about Initiative 1098. But what’s been missing — until now — is an in-depth, fact-based examination of the measure.
EOI’s latest policy brief, Why I-1098 is right for Washington(opens in new tab), shows how I-1098 will cut taxes for the vast majority of Washington businesses and residents while raising new revenue for public investment in education and health care, laying the foundation for broad-based economic growth and opportunity. It lays out six reasons why I-1098 is right for Washington:
- We’re falling behind in K-12 education
- Higher education is out of reach
- We’re not investing enough for a healthy population
- Our current tax structure is unfair
- Our current tax structure is out-of-date
- Washington state budget cuts already total $5.2 billion – and counting
Initiative 1098’s tax reforms will lay the foundations for stronger economic growth and greater opportunity for all people in Washington. Read the full brief here »(opens in new tab)
