No On I-1033
Visit http://no1033.com/ for more information on how you can get involved. Be sure to watch the video available on their website with testimony on the damage suffered by Colorado from a similar measure.
Eyman’s latest initiative is already a disaster.
Initiative 1033 is going to be on the November ballot, and it’s based on a similar measure that passed years ago in Colorado. It led to deep cuts to public schools, roads and highways, and children’s health care. In fact, it did so much damage to that state’s economy that in 2005, Coloradans voted to suspend the law.
Now Eyman is bringing the initiative to Washington, where the national recession has already cost our state thousands of jobs and forced billions in cutbacks to important local services, like education and health care. I-1033’s flawed formula will force deeper cuts and lock them in for years – meaning more job losses, more hard times for Washington families, and a longer delay waiting for our economy to recover.
Your support is needed now, so we can defeat this terrible initiative in November. Please add your name to the list of those pledging to Vote NO on Initiative 1033:
Already this year we’ve slashed school funding by $1.5 billion, and as many as 3,000 teachers and education employees are facing layoffs. This initiative of Eyman’s will take even more resources away from Washington’s classrooms – and Washington’s kids.
Despite a growing senior population, funding for nursing homes, in-home care and adult day health services are being cut – and 40,000 Washington residents of all ages may lose their Basic Health Plan coverage. Eyman’s plan will make our health care crisis more severe.
The problem is, 1033 sounds good on the surface. We know that as soon as we tell people what I-1033 will really do, they’ll vote NO. And that’s where we need your help.
After you pledge to vote no, ask your friends to do the same:
We know times are tough, but let’s not make them worse.

Initiative 1033 limits annual growth of state, city and county general fund revenue to the rate of inflation and population growth. General fund revenues exceeding this limit must be used to reduce the following year’s state, city or county general fund property tax levy.
The initiative reduces state general fund revenues that support education; social, health and environmental services; and general government activities by an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015.
The initiative also reduces general fund revenues that support public safety, infrastructure and general government activities by an estimated $694 million for counties and $2.1 billion for cities by 2015.
