Initiative 1033 would slap cap on gov't growth

Voters are delivering a verdict on Initiative 1033, which limits government revenue, cuts property taxes, and puts tax hikes on the ballot.

Associated Press Writer

OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Voters are delivering a verdict on Initiative 1033, which limits government revenue, cuts property taxes, and puts tax hikes on the ballot.

Anti-tax activist Tim Eyman sponsored I-1033. He says it's needed to make sure city, county and state governments grow at a sustainable rate coming out of the recession.

The opposition campaign includes elected officials, labor unions and big business. They say government is already struggling, with big drop-offs in tax revenue and cuts to public services.
