Representatives of a citizen advocacy group were blindsided by an effort to invalidate voter-backed initiatives for the November ballot that made it all the way to the Washington State Supreme Court without anyone informing them.
On Friday, a reporter who happened to be looking at the case docket asked Let’s Go Washington for a comment about the group’s initiatives being challenged at the high court, which came as a total surprise to the organization. In an exclusive interview with The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, Brian Heywood of Let’s Go Washington called the effort to challenge the initiatives “very hush, hush.”
This November, voters will decide on the initiatives that would repeal the state’s capital gains tax, repeal a carbon tax that has spiked gas prices, allow residents to opt out of the state’s long-term care program, and prevent state and local governments from banning natural gas. Let’s Go Washington and volunteers gathered millions of signatures to qualify the measures for the ballot.
