MEDIA ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 22
Childcare providers, parents, small business owners & advcoates launching No on 2109 Campaign with events in Burien, Yakima, Vancouver, and Spokane.
“While the rich seem to be doing fine, the kids in my program need all the help they can get”
“[I-2109] could cost our kids and schools billions of dollars over the coming years and would give a tax break to millionaires and billionaires.”
In WA and beyond, a child care crisis is holding parents back
“Slemp expected to return to work after having her son in August. But then she and her husband started looking for child care — and doing the math.”
Who’s Behind I-2109
“Think Tim Eyman with a bank account.”
“Hey, Eastern WA: Take the money from King County millionaires and run”
“This past year, the state’s new capital gains tax on windfall profits from stocks and other assets poured $396 million into school construction projects, the state Department of Revenue reported in January.
