OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — It’s a busy week for campaigns hoping to get initiatives on the November ballot.
The deadline for turning in voter petitions is Friday. And five campaigns have appointments to drop off their petitions with Secretary of State Sam Reed.
Initiative 1082, which would allow private workers’ comp insurance, turns in its petitions Wednesday. The campaign says it’s bringing about 340,000 signatures.
Campaigns need a minimum of about 241,000 valid voter signatures to get on the ballot.
Initiative 1098, an income tax on the rich, is scheduled to drop off signatures Thursday.
Initiative 1053, which calls for a two-thirds vote to raise taxes, and Initiative 1105, privatizing retail liquor sales, have appointments for Friday.
