I-1033 Rejected


Incomplete poll data shows that Washington votes no on Initiative 1033, which would reduce state general fund revenues that support health, social, education and environmental serivces and cause disproportionate cuts to fall on universities. Last night,v initiative sponsor Tim Eyman acknowledged defeat with poll data showing 55.43 percent of voters rejecting I-1033 while only 44.57 percent approving.
