Judge: Redo wording on 1-cent tax plan
The group backing an initiative on the November ballot to raise the state sales tax to fund transportation won a battle to get the proposal’s description rewritten in the voter information pamphlet.
The initiative would add a penny tax on each dollar spent to pay for 30 years’ worth of road and transit projects statewide. Supporters went to court over the wording in a state voter information pamphlet approved by a legislative committee, saying it would sway voters to say no.
