❌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.

❌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.
