1. My son just dropped that one on me today

Asked me to read through it (haven't yet) BUT.... as someone who has had both gas and electric appliances--in particular, stoves-- and who has a *strong* preference for gas ones.... this one might be tough. Or easy? Don't know enough yet, but hope some more informed voices weigh on here.

It gives you an overview, summary, and full text. It tells you who is behind it, and who supports and opposes it.

After reading through it, my vote would be no.

5. I was going to ask if WA produced one. Geebus, Colorado produces its 96 page "Blue Book" and then a 30 page supplement

I spent hours on my ballot going through it--including the ballot measures and the judicial retentions.

I know some states don't produce anything like that which leaves me appalled. Then, again some states don't apparently care to provide their populace with the background necessary to make a fair, yet informed decision (pointing especially at some Southern states, but they are not the only ones... )

6. There are 4 initiatives this year, all came from the same billionaire

They are all very deceptive in wording, but they are all about tax breaks for the wealthiest. I am against all of them, but that's just me.
