Initiative 645 repeal 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

Backers of Brian Heywood's Initiative 645 in Washington state are facing criticism that implementing the measure would cut funding for K-12 schools, higher education and healthcare. Critics point out that the state's four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan around future tax collections, so repealing an enacted revenue source would create serious budget shortfalls and force cuts to core public services.

Why now: Washington residents are debating the real fiscal consequences of Heywood's initiative ahead of its implementation or a vote.
