Brian Heywood's Initiative 645 would cut school and healthcare funding

Original: Implementation of Brian Heywood’s 645 would indeed cut funding for K‑12 schools, higher education and healthcare Washing

A Washington state initiative championed by conservative donor Brian Heywood would repeal an enacted revenue source, and state budget rules mean the repeal would force cuts to K-12 schools, higher education and healthcare. Washington's four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan for future tax collections, so rolling back the measure's targeted revenue has consequences beyond the immediate fund. Critics warn the impact would be devastating for core public services.

Why now: Washington voters and officials are weighing the real budget consequences of a Heywood-backed initiative ahead of implementation.
