A sixth and final Washington initiative will be on the November ballot in a very busy campaign season.
State officials say their check of petition signatures for Initiative 1107 is complete, and it will be decided by voters this fall.
I-1107 would roll back higher taxes on candy, bottled water, pop, and other products. The Legislature passed those taxes to help balance the budget, but opponents say they hit consumers and retailers too hard.
All 6 of this year’s initiatives easily surpassed the minimum of about 241,000 petition signatures to advance to November’s general election. It’s the second-largest number of initiatives on the ballot in state history. (AP)
