Implementation of Initiative 645 would cut Washington school and health funding

Original: Implementation of Brian Heywood’s 645 would indeed cut funding for K‑12 schools, higher education and healthcare Washing

A new analysis says Initiative 645, pushed by Washington conservative donor Brian Heywood, would cut funding for K-12 schools, higher education and healthcare if implemented. The state's four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan around future tax collections, so repealing an already enacted revenue source would create deep gaps. Commentators warn the effects would be devastating for public services.

Why now: Budget and initiative fights over Heywood's measures are a live political issue in Washington state.
