Initiative 522

Advisory Vote No. 3 (lease-hold excise tax credit)

The legislature eliminated, without a vote of the people, a leasehold excise tax credit for taxpayers who lease publicly-owned property. The tax will generate about $2 million over 10 years. Voters are being asked if the tax should be repealed or maintained. But as an advisory vote, it’s basically little more than a public opinion and will have no legal bearing on the Legislature.

Advisory Vote No. 4 (aircraft excise tax)

The legislature imposed, without a vote of the people, an aircraft excise tax on commuter air carriers in lieu of property tax. The tax is expected to generate about $500,000 over 10 years. Voters are being asked if the tax should be repealed or maintained. But as an advisory vote, it’s basically little more than a public opinion and will have no legal bearing on the Legislature.

Advisory Vote No. 5 (pediatric oral services tax)

The legislature extended, without a vote of the people, the insurance premium tax to some insurance for pediatric oral services. Legislative analysts were unable to estimate the amount of tax revenue the tax would generate. Voters are being asked if the tax should be repealed or maintained. But as an advisory vote, it’s basically little more than a public opinion and will have no legal bearing on the Legislature.

Advisory Vote No. 6 (telecom tax)

The legislature eliminated, without a vote of the people, a retail sales tax exemption for certain telephone and telecommunications services. The tax is expected to generate about $397 million over 10 years. Voters are being asked if the tax should be repealed or maintained. But as an advisory vote, it’s basically little more than a public opinion and will have no legal bearing on the Legislature.

Advisory Vote No. 7 (estate tax)

The legislature extended, without a vote of the people, estate tax on certain property transfers and increased rates for estates over $4 million. This tax is expected to generate $478 million over 10 years. Voters are being asked if the tax should be repealed or maintained. But as an advisory vote, it’s basically little more than a public opinion and will have no legal bearing on the Legislature.

Initiative 517

This measure would set penalties for interfering with or retaliating against signature-gatherers and petition-signers; require that all measures receiving sufficient signatures appear on the ballot; and extend time for gathering initiative petition signatures.

Spokane County Prop. 1

Spokane County commissioners are asking voters to increase property taxes to pay for purchasing and relocating housing near Fairchild Air Force Base as part of an effort to alleviate encroachments on the military base. If approved by voters it would increase the regular property tax levy up to 6.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation in 2014, and would automatically terminate within 9 years or less. The money would be used exclusively to protect Fairchild by mitigating current encroachments, paying related costs, and resulting in a total authorized regular property tax levy rate of up to $1.40 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for collection in 2014.

Airway Heights Transportation Benefit District

This would authorize a 0.2 percent sales tax increase for 10 years in Airway Heights to pay for specific transportation improvements and maintenance outlined in the city’s transportation plan.

Rockford fire levy

This measure would raise $12,500 for fire protection services by increasing property taxes 51 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 2014. It would replace an expiring fire levy.

Spangle fire levy

This measure would raise $23,000 by increasing property taxes in Spangle $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation to pay for fire protection services for 2014.

Spangle police levy

This measure would raise $16,000 by increasing property taxes in Spangle $1 per $1,000 of assessed valuation to pay for police protection services in 2014.

Rosalia parks and recreation levy

This measure would raise $55,000 by increasing property taxes in the Rosalia Park and Recreation District No. 5 by 52 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to pay for maintenance and operation for 2014.

St. John School District levy

This measure would raise $969,000 for health, safety and energy efficiency improvements at St. John School by increasing property taxes about $1.84 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 2014, about $1.80 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 2015 and about $1.75 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 2016.
