2008 Initiative 1029 – Washington Long Term Care Initiative
2011 Initiative 1163 – Washington Long Term Care Initiative
2016 – Initiative 1501 – Washington Increased Penalties for Crimes Against Vulnerable Individuals
All in all, SEIU 775 funded the great majority for each of these three initiatives. With misleading information in the titles and tag lines, it’s easy to see how voters were fooled.
The real people getting hurt are those who need care and those who want to provide the care. There are TOO many barriers for the people involved in accessing the supports they need to remain in their communities.
