Washington ballot measure 645 would cut school and health funding

Brian Heywood's Initiative 645 in Washington state would, if implemented, cut funding for K-12 schools, higher education and healthcare, according to Washington progressives. The state's four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan ahead for future tax collections, meaning repealing an enacted revenue source would have serious consequences for core public services and long-term budget planning.

Why now: Voters and officials are weighing the fiscal consequences of the initiative as it heads toward implementation or a ballot decision
