Regarding Ranked Choice Voting.Newsletter Correction: The newsletter was already published when a correction was found. In the “Reject Proposition 3, Ranked Choice Voting” the first line should have read: “After failing in committee, Kevin Ranker and Sharon Abreu brought back Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) to the County Charter Review Commission, where the majority did pass it.” A presentation was made by both sides to the entire Charter Review Committee after the motion had failed in committee due to lack of a second to the motion.

Sen. Lynda Wilson: Costly new budget just signed by @GovInslee just made WA a more regressive place to live. People would have been far better off with the Republican approach…which offered tax relief, not new/higher taxes. #waleg #Washington #taxapalooza http://ow.ly/9vJ050EPQLJ
