Lower taxes are up to you!

What does 1053 do?

Initiative 1053 makes it tougher to raise your taxes, encourages more responsible, prioritized spending and gives taxpayers the opportunity to reject tax increases. I-1053 requires a two-thirds vote of the state House and Senate on any tax measure – and if they can’t agree, then voters get to decide.

With another $3 billion budget deficit looming on the horizon, taxpayers need Initiative 1053 in place to encourage prioritized state spending and protects taxpayers from unnecessary tax increases by requiring broad legislative or voter support next session and beyond.

Without I-1053 in place, lawmakers will hike taxes again, rather than make the tough decisions families are making.

Make sure you’re in control this November. And when lawmakers convene in Olympia next January.

Vote YES ON 1053.
