Testimony To Washington State Legislature supporting ESSB 5082 – encouraging electoral participation and making ballots more meaningful by abolishing advisory votes
As written Advisory votes are really an anti tax, anti revenue push poll on Washington state ballots. The ballot format was written by Tim Eyman as a means to influence public opinion and promote his anti-tax initiative business.
All other ballot measures are written by the Washington State Attorney General’s office. The ballot title is meant summarize what the public is voting on. It is not supposed to present a bias one way or another.
