Please vote “no” on Initiative 2117. The initiative will take away one-third of the state budget for transportation. It will take away funding for forest management and wildfire prevention. It will take away funding for cleaning up our water supply and air pollution.

More than 350 organizations oppose this initiative, including the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, Washington State Nurses Association and the Washington State Education Association. This initiative will not decrease costs for working families.
