There’s just one more day to get your ballot in the mail or to a drop box near you. Please make sure you cast your vote against the initiatives that will hurt WPEA members, and for the candidates who stand with public employees and union members across the state.
❌No on I-2117
Initiative 2117 would cut millions of dollars from the Department of Natural Resources – directly cutting the work that WPEA members do. It would eliminate more than $10 million from forest health and restoration, $10 million from the Firewise program, and more than $2 million from workforce development programs to train the next generation of foresters and wildland firefighters.
Vote NO on 2117. Learn more at https://no2117.com/
❌No on I-2109
Initiative 2109 would cut more than $2.2 billion from state programs, including the community colleges where WPEA members work. It would repeal a tax on unearned income from stock sales – a tax that only the wealthiest 0.2% pay.
