Simple Majority for School Levies and Bonds
A series of bills have been introduced in both houses of the Washington State Legislature which would amend the state constitution and or modify RCW to lower the bar on requirements for school levies and bonds (which currently require a 60% supermajority to pass).
Respectively the bills are SB 4144, SJR 8202, and HJR 4205. They will lower the requirement to a simple majority (any vote over 50%).
The current system is ludicrous because it requires a supermajority to pass. Please lobby your state representatives to support our children's future.
