Initiatives face Friday deadline
The Associated Press
It’s a busy week for initiative campaigns, which face a Friday deadline for turning in petitions.
Five campaigns have appointments to drop off their voter petitions with Secretary of State Sam Reed.
Initiative 1082, which would allow private workers’ comp insurance, turns in its petitions Wednesday. The campaign says it’s bringing about 340,000 signatures.
Campaigns need a minimum of about 241,000 valid voter signatures to get on the ballot.
Initiative 1098, an income tax on the rich, is scheduled to drop off signatures Thursday.
Three initiatives have Friday appointments: I-1053, which calls for a two-thirds vote to raise taxes; I-1105, privatizing retail liquor sales; and I-1107, which would roll back several recent tax increases.
