Press Release From: Tim Eyman Date: June 1st, 2001 Initiative 747 PO Box 1641 Mukilteo, WA 98275 PH: 425-493-8707 FAX: 425-493-1027 web: i-747.com email: info@i-747.com Change the future of property taxes in Washington State! Our initiative for this year, "Spirit of 695" I-747, The Right to Vote on Property Taxes Initiative, limits property tax levy increases to 1% per year unless voters OK a higher increase. And that's all it does. Not only is I-747 a "single subject" initiative, it's a "single section" initiative. I-747 amends one statute and lowers the current limit to 1% per year. For decades, cities and counties and the state have increased property taxes the full 6% per year and those increases have compounded every year. That's why your property taxes skyrocket year after year. I-747 limits property tax increases so working class families and senior citizens living on fixed incomes aren't taxed out of their homes. We want Washington to be a place where not just rich people can afford to buy and own a home. In early May, the Washington State Republican Party overwhelmingly endorsed our initiative. Although they've backed every initiative we've done, this is the first time they've come on board BEFORE we've gotten on the ballot. So they'll be able to help us get signatures. This follows a critical endorsement from the State Libertarian Party at their big convention last April. More and more people and organizations are jumping on our bandwagon, but getting I-747 on the ballot is still extremely tough. More signatures and more money are needed. The deadline to turn in 250,000 signatures is less than a month away! Petitions are available by calling Monte Benham at 509-783-3829 or email info@permanent-offense.org. Consider how many hundreds (and many times thousands) of dollars our tax relief effort will save you, your family, your friends, and your business in the future.
