I-517 debated in Pullman League of Women Voters meeting

Thu, Oct 17 2013 by Neal Hobson

A news segment on KLEW in Pullman, Washington, profiled I-517 and a local debate at the Pullman League of Women Voters held on Tuesday, October 15.

Proponents of I-517 spoke up to defend the initiative, such as Ted Weatherly, who said, “517 makes citizen participation safer, and guarantees people’s right to vote on initiatives.”

Opponents continue to state their case that petitioners already have protections and claim property rights could be violated if I-517’s provisions took effect.

An opponent of Initiative 522 – also on the ballot this November – Rob Rembert said, “What this really does, and they want, ultra-protection. And ultra-protection that violates the rights of others.”
