Washington's Initiative 645 would slash school and healthcare funding

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

Efforts to implement Initiative 645, backed by Washington conservative donor Brian Heywood, would cut funding for K-12 schools, higher education and healthcare, according to policy observers in Washington state. The state's four-year budget framework requires lawmakers to plan for future tax collections, so repealing an enacted revenue source would force spending reductions with what critics call devastating effects on core public services.

Why now: Voters and officials are weighing the real budget consequences of the initiative backed by Brian Heywood.
