I-2109 DEFEATED
LANDSLIDE VICTORY I-2109 DEFEATED
NO Education Cuts
VOTE NO I-2109
NO Cuts TO childcare, education funding
PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND CHILDREN’S GROUPS OPPOSE i-2109
The Children’s Alliance, Save The Children Action Fund, MomsRising, and many more oppose I-2109 because it will cut more than $2.2 billion over 5 years from education, worsening Washington’s childcare and school funding crisis from Seattle to Wenatchee.
Taxpayers oppose i-2109
I-2109 puts more tax pressure on the rest of us. It creates a tax cut for a handful of people - fewer than 4,000 wealthy households - shifting more tax responsibility on middle and low income Washingtonians who are already paying the biggest share - up to 17% of their incomes - in state and local taxes.
small business owners, working families OPPOSE i-2109
Washington businesses lose over $2 billion each year due to employees' issues with child care, and I-2109 will worsen this problem by cutting billions from affordable childcare. Plus if I-2109 passes, it will shift more of the tax pressure to small businesses and working families, impacting Washington’s economy. That’s why dozens of small businesses and workers’ unions are united in opposing I-2109.
“I-2109 Cuts Washington’s EDUCATION & CHILDCARE, HURTING ALL OF US.”
