Push the Hot Button
Before folding up shop in Olympia this year, the Washington Legislature sent two proposed constitutional amendments to next November’s ballot where voters will decide.
One ( Senate Joint Resolution 8200 ) creates a state savings account that the lawmakers can’t touch unless they can muster a super majority in both houses.
The other ( Engrossed Senate Joint Resolution 8207 ) allows school districts to pass bond and levy elections with a simple majority of the vote, rather than the 60 percent supermajority now required.
Do those sound like good ideas to you?
