Letter: Reject ballot initiatives

By Diego Luis Contreras, VANCOUVER
Published: October 31, 2024, 6:00am

Vote “no” on initiatives 2109, 2117, 2124 and 2066. Brian Heywood, a man from California, paid over $6 million of his own money to add the initiatives on the ballot and serve him and his rich friends’ interests.

I-2109 threatens to cut over $2.2 billion in funding for education, child care and early learning in favor of tax breaks for the affluent. I-2117 does not promise lower gas prices, and only promises more pollution. I-2124 will abolish Washington’s long-term care benefit program, while I-2066 is set to raise energy bills and undermine current energy efficiency.
