- IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT I-1033 ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT
There will be an initiative, I-1033, on the November ballot that if passed would significantly affect funding for K-12 education as well as health and social services for children. State analysis says general fund revenues would be reduced by close to $6 billion by 2015. Supporters of the initiative, drafted by Tim Eyman, are concerned about property taxes and the growth of taxes at the city, county and state level. Opponents (which include the AARP as well as the Washington State PTA) feel the restraints placed on state revenue growth will damage education, health and social programs.The board of the Seattle Council PTSA has endorsed a no position and will ask the council (that's the coalition of all the PTA's and PTSA's in the city) to weigh in at its Oct. 5 general meeting.
