If approved, section 8,05 would require the Finance Director to be appointed or removed by the Mayor with Council approval. The Finance Director would be appointed based on professional qualifications with special reference to knowledge and experience in municipal finance, Approval of this measure deletes Finance Director as an elected officer in Section 2.01 and deletes reference to the Finance Director's term of office in Section 2.02. This change would be effective January 1, 2008. Should these amendments be approved? YES NO Explanatory Statement The City Charter was approved by voters in 1972. It provides for the organizarion of Bellingham City government, including an elected Finance Director. The Charter provides that the Finance Director is responsible for the finances of the City. The Charter requires no professional experi- ence or qualifications for this position. This Charter amendment would change how the City of Bellingham Finance Director is selected. Instead of being elected, the position would be appointed or removed by the Mayor with Ciry Council approval. If approved, selection of the Finance Director would be based on professional qualifications, including education and experience requirements. Statement For: Qualifications and accountability are the main reasons Bellingham needs an appointed -Finance Director. The current charter doesn'r mention qualifications for the elected position. A city with a $200 million budget cant afford an unqualified officer in charge of $130 million in public investments, budget projections, tax collection from 8,000 businesses, and numerous other legally mandated re- sponsibilities. The charter amendment would require appointment of the Finance Director by the mayor with council,approval based on professional qualifications. Finance Directors are appointed in every other city in Washington state — clearly this is a"best prac- tice" that assures the most favorable bond rating and the greatest confidence in the quality of financial administration. If you owned a $200 million business, you would never think of hiring someone without accounting and administrative experience to manage your company's finances and investments. As taxpayers, the city is our business. Citizens deserve to know that our elected officials have clear, concise, timely and unbiased financial information to make informed decisions on our behalf. The Bellingham city charter was written years ago for a much smaller city. It is time to make sure the Finance Director is a qualified, accountable professional in the field of financial management. Rebuttal of Statement Against: Opponents to this amendment forget that this is 2006 not 1972 and the City budget is available online at www cob.org for every voter to view and comment on. It is further startling that opponents complete- ly ignore the critical need for the voters to protect their tax dollars and bond rating by requiring that the position has to be filled by someone who is actually qualified in Financial Management. Please vote YES on Charter Amendment One. Statement Against: It is important that a clear line be drawn between those who oversee the taxpayers'. money and those who spend it. The Belling ham Herald srated"if Holds position became appointed, voters would lose their ability to directly weigh in on the city's financial management:' The finance director the guardian of the peoples finances — should be answerable to the voters, independent of the officials who spend the publics money. The City's argument for this amendment is misleading at best. The finance directors function is administrative. It includes managing staff and serving as liaison with the Council, the Mayor and the taxpayers. The deparrment's staff currently includes several CPAs and other seasoned, qualified employees. They handle the collection, spending and reporting of City finances. Bellinghans success in electing its finance director is reflected by the City's excellent bond rating. This amendment would only be yet another blow co citizens' rights. Please vote No on City Charter Amendment No.1. Rebuttal of Statement For: The committee against the voters electing our Finance Director cites qualifications and accountability as the main reasons for letting the mayor appoint someone. The finance director is already account- able —to the voters, not the mayor. All of our elected finance directors have been qualified. Being Mayor requires no qualifications. Being on city council requires no qualifications. This Amendment is political, elinvnating the finance director's accountability to the voters. Please protect our financial integrity; vote No. Statement For prepared by: Committee in Favor of an Appointed Finance Director Complete text of this measure may be found on page 21 Statement Against prepared by: Richard Tremaine, Sharon Crozier, Orphalee Smith PROPOSITION NO.1 CITY OF LYNDEN, WASHINGTON NEW CITY HALL GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS - $3;900,000 The City Council of the City of Lynden adopted Resolution No. 747 concerning a proposition for bonds. This proposition authorizes the City to acquire, construct and equip a new City Hall, to issue $3,900,000 of general obligation bonds maturing within a maximum term of 30 years to finance such improvements. and to levy property taxes annually in excess of regular property tax levies to repay such bonds, all as provided in Resolution No. 747, Should this proposition be: APPROVED REJECTED Explanatory Statement A vote to approve Proposition No.1 authorizes the City of Lynden to issue and sell general obligation bonds up to a principal amount of $3,900,000.00, with maturities not to exceed chi try years. Proceeds from the bond sales will be used to pay necessary costs associated with build- ing design and construction far a new Ciry Hall, plus relocation and related costs. The proposed location for a new City Hall is the block bound- ed by Main Street and Liberty Street between 3rd Street and 4th Street. The total estimated cost for the new City Hall project is $4,900,000.40. Statement For: Lynden steeds a new City Hall now: The current City Hall opened in 1928 to serve a population of about 1,500 citizens. With the population of Lynden nearing 11,000, Lynden must consider building a modern City Hall for the needs of 2006 and beyond. Options that have been considered include remodeling the existing building, purchasing temporary metal modular build- ings, or constructing a new City Hall of which the community of Lynden can be proud. Doing nothing is not an option. Lynden needs a new City Hall because: • More space is needed to serve larger numbers of city residents effectively and efficiently; • Central secured permanent record storage is needed; • City Hall must comply with the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act; disabled persons cannot ac- cess any office in the existing building; • The existing building is inefficient to heat and maintain; plumbing and electrical systems are obsolete; • Community pride. Approval for Lynden to issue City Hall Bonds is the next step to a City Hall that will serve our community for decades into the future at the lowest amortized cost of any option. Please vote"YES" for City Hall on November 7th.

The Board of Commissioners of Fire District 3 unanimously approved and filed a petition with Fire District 13 requesting that Fire District 3 be merged into Fire District 13. The Board of Commissioners of Fire District 13 unanimously passed a resolution approving Fire District 3's petition. Voter approval of Proposition No,1 is the final step in this process and would merge Fire District 3 into Fire District 13 creating one fire district to provide fire and emergency medical/paramedic services in the areas currently served by both districts. Statement For: In 1998 Whatcom County Fire District #3 participated in an ef- ficiency study that stated merging with other fire districts is in the best interest of the taxpayer as service levels would be increased al- lowing for quicker responses to emergencies. The study stated that by merging with other fire districts, a reduction in the duplication of administrative, operational, training, and maintenance costs, would result in the ability to add additional paid personnel for response when volunteer firefighter availability was low or not existent, thus improving overall response times. Fire District #3 "partnered" with Fire District #13, to form a non- profit organization that manages fire protection services for both fire districts. For five years this partnership has served as a precursor to actual merging with District #13. It is now time for the two fire districts to become one. "Re -directing" funds from paying for a duplication of administrative services and other non -emergent costs, to placing more firefight- ers'on the street" is critical For meeting the increase in a demand for services that exceeds the capability of the "volunteer", To do otherwise is wasting taxpayer dollars placing communities at risk. We need more firefighters and fewer administrators. This is a good governance decision. Rebuttal of Statement Against: No Statement Submitted Statement For prepared by: T.M.

This proposition would authorize the District to set and maintain its regular property tax levy of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for 2007 and thereafter pursuant to RCW 84.55.050 and subject to any otherwise applicable statutory dollar rate limitations. Should this proposal be: APPROVED REJECTED Explanatory Statement This measure sets the levy for Fire District 3 at the level of $1.50 per thousand. This levy is the primary source of funding for emergency services provided by Fire District 3. Passage of Proposition No. 2 will allow the fire district to increase the levy rate from $1.34 to $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation as otherwise authorized by law. Voter approval of Proposition No. 2 will provide funding for the district to continue with the staffing plan for fire and emergency medical/paramedic services. Statement For: Initiative 747, passed in 2002, restricts taxing districts to levy increases of one -percent over the previous year's levy. Only the taxpayer can authorize increases in levies above that one -percent limit, Whatcom County Fire District #3 has not requested tax levy increases since Initiative 747 was approved, yet personnel and operational costs have increased in excess of eight to ten percent annually the past four years "Skyrocketing" operational costs have been absorbed using dwin- dling reserve funds, and reserve funds are no longer sufficient to maintain existing service levels or make improvements. There exists a need to increase paid staffing, upgrade apparatus and equipment, and improve facilities. Growth is at an all time high, yet, I-747 limits revenue increases, and the Fire District response capabilities are not keeping pace with service demands. Inadequate staffing and slow response will become the norm rather than the exception should limitations continue. Growth and the associated increase in service demands are exceed- ing"volunteer firefighter" capabilities. This means hire additional paid personnel or accept continued decreases in service levels. When life safety is at risk, decreasing service levels is not an option. The prudent solution is, remove the one -percent limitation this year to satisfy service demand increases.

(This shall not authorize an excess levy and shall be subject to other statutory limits.) The additional revenue is necessary to establish a'duty program' to provide 24 hour 7 day per week coverage to provide improved response service. Should this Proposition be enacted into law? YES NO Explanatory Statement If approved by the voters, the District will be authorized to increase its regular real property taxes from the current rate of 79.09 cents to a rate not to exceed $1.25 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The actual levy rate will be established by the Board of Commissioners. The additional regular tax revenue is necessary to establish a duty program' to enable the fire district to provide 24 hour 7 day per week coverage to provide improved response service. Statement For: The District would like to enact a duty program whereby "First- response'qualified firefighters will be scheduled around -the -clock to provide immediate assistance to the fire chief at the scene of any emergency. To facilitate this service enhancement, we propose an increase in the amount levied from the districts regular tax revenue, and we ask for your support. We are currently operating at $.07909 per $1,000.00 of assessed value of the homes in district, which does not adequately support current maintenance and training needs as we continue to provide increased service to our growing community. The proposed levy will increase our budget to $1.25 per $1,000.00 of assessed value permitting us to offer better benefits and training for our volunteer firefighters and establish the duty program. Our fire department is composed of a very dedicated group of volunteers, and we would like to retain and enlarge the department in a consistent, efficient manner. Although the district is entitled to a full $1.50 in assessed value, the commission believes the $1.25 will enable us to enact the duty program in a cost-effective manner. Your support in this pro- posal will result in better benefits for our volunteers and improved response times to the community.

This is a genuine opportunity to expand and diversify the people's representation in the management and decision making process for the district SUPPORT OUR COMMISSIONERS Our seated commissioners have indicated that there are not enough hours in the day to address the business of the district properly, and have openly solicited the assistance of the customers to volunteer their time to assist with the task of managing the districts business We feel it is our responsibility as citizens and customers to acknowledge this need and to take proactive steps to provide the resources to meet these challenges by legitimizing the need and supporting the commis- sioners in their request to best ensure the peoples representation IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!

The increase to the district is less than 77 cents per customer for two meetings per month The total cost of 5 Com- missioners is less than 34k per year. Its time for a change in Water District 13 —Vote YES on Proposition 1 Statement For prepared by: Citizens of Columbia Valley Statement Against prepared by: Committee to Just Say"NO" Statement Against: There is no valid reason to add 2 new Commissioners to the Water District. Consider also the following: -The present Commissioners will apgoint the new Commissioners. That means, we the Voters have no voice or choice as to who the new Commissioners would be. + Two additional Commissioners, being paid $70 each per meeting, could add 2 more salaries to an already financially over- burdened water district. That means there couId be reason to main increase waterlsev<<er rates. + Our water is good . Our sewer system works well Don't be fooled into thinking that 5 Commissioners are better than 3. It is not necessarily true. Vote NO on the ballot measure! Rebuttal of Statement For: Recent performances of the commissioners have demonstrated their ability to greatly improve our water district's operations. The necessity to burden our water district with additional expenses is not warranted.

WHEREAS, the Board of Fire Commissioners (the "Board") of Whatcom County Fire Protection District No. 13 (the'District'), has determined that it appears certain money available for the Expense Fund for the calendar year 2007 would be insufficient to permit the District to meet the expenses of operation, services and maintenance essential and necessary for the protection of the public health, life, and property of its residents during such calendar year, given the current levy rate of $1.49 per $1,000 of assessed value; and that it is necessary the regular property tax Levy of the District be set at $1.50 per $1,000, such levy to be made in 2006 for collection in 2007, and in succeeding years, on all taxable property within the District (such assessed value representing 100% of true and fair value unless specifically provided otherwise by law), in order for the Expense Fund of the District to be able to provide sufficient funds to meet those expenses; and WHEREAS, the Constitution and the laws of the State of Washington require that the question of whether such taxes may be levied must be submitted to the qualified electors of the District for their ratification or rejection; and NOW, THEREFORE, Section 1. The Auditor further is requested to call and conduct an election in the District, in the manner provided bylaw, to be held herein on November 7, 2006, in conjunction with the State general election to be held on the same date, for the purpose of submitting to the voters of the District, for their approval or rejection, a proposition of whether the regular property tax levy of the District shall be set at and maintained at $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value; such levy to be made in 2006 for collection in 2007, and in succeeding years on all the taxable property within the District (such assessed value representing 100% of true and fair value unless specifically provided otherwise by law), subject to otherwise applicable statutory limitations. Section 2. Pursuant to RCW 29A.36.071 as amended, the Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney is requested to prepare the concise description of the aforesaid proposition for the ballot title in substantially the following form: FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NO. 13 WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON PROPOSITION NO.1 RESTORING REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVY The Board of Fire Commissioners of Fire Protection District No. 13, Whatcom County, Washington, adopted Resolution No. 2006-04 con- cerning a regular property tax levy of $1.50 per $1,000.

Background: WHEREAS, it is the judgment of the Board of Commissioners of the District that it is essential and necessary for the prorec- don of the health and life of the residents of the District that fire and emergency medical services be provided by the District. The accelerated demands for, and increasing costs of, providing these services will necessitate the expenditure of revenues for maintenance, operations and equip- ment in excess of those which can be provided by the Districts regular tax revenue levied at the current rate per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation of taxable property within the District as limited by the 101% limitation. Resolutions NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Whatcom County Fire Protection District No. 18, Whatcom County, Washington as follows: Section 1. In order to provide fire protection, prevention and emergency medical services in the District, it is necessary for the District to 'ob- rain, operate and maintain emergency fire and medical aid vehicles and facilities staffed by properly trained personnel equipped with suitable fire fighting and emergency medical equipment. The additional regular tax revenue is'necessary to establish a duty program to enable the fire district to provide 24 hour 7 day per week coverage to provide improved response service. Section 2. In order to provide the revenue adequate to pay the costs of providing adequate life protection services and facilities as described in Section 1 and to assure the continuation of such services, the District shall, in accordance with RCW 84.55.050, remove the limitation on regular property taxes imposed by RCW 84.55.010, and Initiative 747 and levy beginning in 2006 and collect beginning in 2007, pursuant to RCW 52.16.130, RCW 52.16.140 and RCW 52.16.160, a general tax on taxable property within the District at a rate of $1.25 per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation subject to otherwise applicable statutory limits. Section 3. The District currently levies a regular property tax at the rate of $.7909 per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation. Section 4. There shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the District for their ratification or rejection, at a special election on November 7, 2006, in conjunction with the state general election to be held on the same date, the question of whether or nor the regular property tax levy of the District should be increased to $1.25 per $1.000.00 of true and assessed valuation, subject to otherwise applicable statutory limirations. The Board of Commissioners hereby requests the auditor of Wharcom County, as ex-o[ficio Supervisor of Elections, to declare that an emergen- cy exists and to call such election, and to subnur the following proposition at such election, in the form of a bailor title substantially as follows: PROPOSITION NO.1 Whatcom County Fire Protection District No. 18 - Board of Commissioners — Proposition Authorizing Increase of Existing Property Tax Levies. The proposition will authorize the Board of Commissioners of the District to increase its regular property tax levy to an amount not to exceed $1.25 per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation. (This shall not b' construed to authorize an excess levy and shall be subject to other applicable statu- tory limits.) The additional regular tax revenue is necessary to establish a duty program to enable the fire district to provide 24 hour 7 day per week coverage to provide improved response service. Should this Proposition be enacted into law?

Vaa;1.G Vs uaa a7G16kr1L4u I VA OULUC Introduction to the 2006 Voters' Pamphlet Dear Voter, I express my heartfelt thanks to elementary school student Desirae Marion whose artwork is featured on the cover of this year's -Voters' Pamphlet, and to high school student Amanda Murphy for her articulate essay on the opposite page. Both illustrate the power of a privilege that gives each of us our voice in government. As Washington voters, we may appreciate that power better than most. After our historic election for Governor in 2004, the top two candidates stood 46 ten -thousandths of 1 percent apart — and the extraordinary circumstances had only begun. I commend you for responding to the trials of that election in force and calling for changes that, above all else, guarantee your voice will be protected and secure. With your help, we have thoughtfully implemented improvements to reinforce the integrity of every election. Starting next year, Washington will hold its Primary in August instead of September. Ballots will reach our military and overseas citizens in time to be voted and returned before Election Day. County elections departments will also have more time to prepare for the November General Election. Washington continues to reduce the risk of voter fraud by ensuring that every person who casts a ballot is eligible to vote. With a new centralized voter registration database, we've cancelled 3,468 voter registration records of felons, 18,871 of the deceased, and 24,180 duplicates. In addition, voters who turn out at the polls are required to show identification. We've also simplified the voting process. Most counties will now only conduct elections by mail instead of holding two elections, one by mail and a second at the polls. Finally, the Office of the Secretary of State has authority to review every county's election procedures before, during, and after an election. We, as election administrators, must tirelessly strive for fair and accurate elections. I encourage you, as a voter, to fulfill your civic duty. Engage in this democracy. Use the Voters' Pamphlet and other resources to cast an informed vote. Find out if your county is using new voting equipment and follow the directions on your ballot carefully. At the very least, the contested gubernatorial election two years ago ought to leave all of us with newfound respect for democracy and the power of a single vote. tt¢ err. r.

In fact, less than sixty-one percent of those eligible voted in the last presidential election. This shocking trend is undoubtedly the result of a lack of understanding of the complete ideas behind and the implications of voting. As I reached the voting age, I too had fallen into these common misguided ideas regarding the value and effect of my vote, and it was not until I began to better understand voting that I was able to fully realize the blessing I have been given. Voting has substantially wider effects than I had ever previously imagined. Our elected officials make laws that will affect our country as well as others for many years. To know that my vote has the potential to be a factor in helping people all around the world is something that I find amazing. Additionally, unlike in other countries, our right to vote is among the inalienable rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution. Citizens of Afghanistan, for example, only just obtained this right as they voted in their first elections in years, which was secured only through much preceding violence. Knowing that, I feel tremendously grateful to have such a precious gift. Without a full understanding of voting, many fail to recognize the great effect and power that their vote has. This right is a blessing that I believe we all should cherish. 3 Voting in Washington State Political Party Information Voter Qualifications To register to vote, you must be: • A citizen of the United States A legal resident of Washington State • At least 18 years old by Election Day • If you have been convicted of a felony in Washington, another state, or in federal court, you lose your right to vote in Washington until your civil rights are restored.

Your privilege. Your right. It is your chance to have your voice heard on matters that affect everyday life. Your help is needed to make sure your vote can be legally counted. It's the job of your county elections officials to keep track of voter registration records, and to count —and account for —your vote. When your voter registration record is up-to-date, it means you're helping to make elections as accurate as possible. ® BRING IDENTIFICATION TO THE POLLS. It you are a poll voter, be sure to bring "valid photo identification, such as a driver's license or state iden- tification card, student identification card, or tribal identification card, a voter's voter identification issued by a county elections officer, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government check or other government document. Any individual who desires to vote in person but cannot provide identification as required by this section shall be issued a provisional ballot." (Chapter 29A.44.205, Revised Code of Washington) ® MARKING YOUR BALLOT. Carefully follow the instructions provided with your ballot. Make sure you mark your ballot clearly so that each vote will be counted correctly. What Happens if I Vote for More than One Candidate? In most instances, you may only vote for one candidate per office. If you vote for more than one candidate for an office, or select more than one response for a ballot measure, the votes will be considered "overvotes" and no vote will be counted for that office or ballot measure. In this case, the remainder of your ballot that is valid will be counted. In rare instances, you may vote for more than one candidate but the ballot will clearly indicate that. How do I Correct My Ballot? To make a correction on a ballot, you must cross out the in- correct vote and mark the correct choice. If you are unable to correct your ballot, you may request a replacement ballot. How do I Obtain a Replacement Ballot? If you have destroyed, spoiled, lost, or not received your original absentee or mail ballot, you may obtain a replace- ment ballot by contacting your county elections department. & DISABILITY ACCESS UNITS. YOUR SIGNATURE MAKES YOUR VOTE COUNT. Make sure to sign the outer envelope of your absentee/mail ballot before you return it. The only way your ballot can le- gally be counted is by verifying and matching your signature to the one on your voter registration record. If your signature has changed you must update your records with your county elections department. THE 2007 PRIMARY DATE HAS MOVED. A0110V Mark your calendar. Starting in 2007, ? 7 3 _Q s e ) a S f0 !, the date of the Primary will be the third 76 Tuesday in August (August 21, 2007), pushed back four weeks from the third Tuesday in September, Moving the Primary date not only allows county elections officials preparing and mailing ballots more time to conduct the election but also better protects the right to vote for military and overseas citizens. The Office of the Secretary of State, in association with Washington's 39 county elections departments, is working to ensure all voting age residents with disabilities have access to electronic voting machines that will allow them to vote as independently and secretly as the general population. Federal law requires the electronic voting machines, known as Disability Access Units (DAUB), to be available to voters 20 days before an election in at least one location in every county. The DAUs feature large screens that enhance text size for the visually impaired. Each machine also includes headphones so that ballot proposals, instructions and candidate names can be heard by the voter, who then casts each vote by pushing a button. Other attached devices, such as a sip -and -puff, can assist voters who have severe hand and feet limitations. All machines are wheelchair accessible. Voting on a DAU is secure. All voting equipment in Washington State is certified by the Office of the Secretary of State and has been tested at the federal, state, and county levels to ensure the equipment accurately records and reports the choices made by the voter. In addition, Washington State requires DAUs to provide a paper trail (similar to a paper ballot) that the voter can use to verify his or her vote. Addition- ally, the paper trail is used in post election audits to compare the results of the voting machines with a hand count of the paper votes. If you have questions about using a DAU or want to know where a DAU is located in your county, contact your county elections department. Contact information for your county can be found in the back of this pamphlet. C INITIATIVE MEASURE 920 PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION Official Ballot Title: Initiative Measure No. 920 concerns estate tax. This measure would repeal Washington's state laws imposing tax, currently dedicated for the education legacy trust fund, on transfers of estates of persons dying on or after the effective date of this measure. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [] No [] Note: The Official Ballot Title and Explanatory Statement were written by the Attorney General as required by law. The Fiscal Impact Statement was written by the Office of Financial Management. For more in-depth fiscal analysis, visit www.ofm.wa.gov/initiatives/default.htm. The complete text of Initiative Measure 920 begins on page 20. T Fiscal Impact Statement I1 fiscal Impact Statement for Initiative 920 Beginning July 1, 2007, Initiative 920 would eliminate $184.5 million in revenue over the next two fiscal years by repealing the state estate tax. The state estate tax is dedicated to funding public schools (kindergarten through 121h grade) and higher education. The repeal would not affect revenue for this fiscal year, which began July 1, 2006 and ends June 30, 2007. Assumptions for i, • The initiative would repeal the estate tax for taxable estates of people who die on or after the effective date of the initiative, which is 30 days after November 7, 2006. • Estates in Washington valued at more than $2 million currently pay a graduated rate ranging from 10 percent to 19 percent on the estate assets above the $2 million threshold. The value of property used primarily for farming can be deducted from the taxable estate. • Taxable estates are not required to pay any estate tax until nine months from the date of death of the estate owner. Because of this delay, a repeal of the estate tax would not lower state revenues until the 2007-09 budget period. The revenues for public schools and higher education in the Education Legacy Trust Account would be reduced by a projected $184.5 million in the 2007-2009 budget period. • The estate tax is deposited into the Education Legacy Trust Account. Funds in the Education Legacy Trust Account can be used only for class size reductions, extended learning opportunities and other public school improvement efforts adopted in Initiative 728; and for expanding access to higher education through new enrollments and financial aid; and other educational improvement efforts. The Office of the Secretary of State is not authorized to edit statements, nor is it responsible for their contents. 7 og* INITIATIVE MEASURE 920 Explanatory Statement The law as it presently exists: Washington law currently imposes a tax on the transfer of an estate of a deceased person if the taxable value of the estate is at least 2 million dollars. The gross value of a deceased person's estate includes the value at the time of death of all of the deceased person's property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever it is located. The taxable estate is determined by subtracting two million dollars, and various deduction amounts allowed under state law, from the gross value of the estate. The value of certain qualified property, as described in the law, such as farmland and timberland, may be deducted from the taxable value of the estate if the property is passed to a family member of the deceased person and certain other requirements are satisfied. Thus, such farmland and timberland generally are not subject to Washington's estate tax. The Washington estate tax is computed according to a table in the law. The tax rates and tax amounts specified in the table are graduated to increase with the value of the taxable estate. The minimum tax rate is ten percent for taxable estates of up to one million dollars, and the tax rate increases to a maximum of 19 percent on the portion of the taxable estate over nine million dollars. The revenues from this estate tax, including penalties, interest, and fees, are deposited in the education legacy trust account. Money in the education legacy trust account may be used only for deposit into the student achievement fund, for expanding ac- cess to higher education, and other educational improvement efforts. The education legacy trust account is funded by the estate tax, a portion of the cigarette tax, and certain interest earnings on the account. Washington's estate tax is independent of any federal estate tax obligations, and is not affected by the payment of federal estate taxes. The effect of the proposed measure, if it becomes law: This measure would repeal Washington's estate tax. The repeal would apply to the estates of persons dying on or after the effective date of the measure. The repeal would affect only the Washington estate tax. A deceased person's estate would still be subject to federal laws imposing federal estate tax. Repeal of the Washington estate tax would discontinue that source of revenue for the education legacy trust account. E* Statement For Initiative Measure 920 YOUNG PEOPLE HARDEST HIT BY A DEATH TAX ON THE FAMILY's HARD-EARNED ASSETS Young people look forward to an economically successful life. They don't need another tax on their family's hard-earned assets. Young people may think they will never face death taxes, but when a family member dies and a business or property must be sold in order for the government to take its cut, they realize what an unfair tax it is. The Death Tax reduces entrepreneurial endeavors that create jobs and expand capital formation. Death should not be a taxable event. JOBS AND BUSINESS ARE ERODED BY ESTATE TAX (DEATH TAX) AND ALL CITIZENS AFFECTED Entrepreneurship and jobs in the free enterprise system produce successful citizens and wealth. Small business owners create 97% of the jobs in Washington. Death taxes penalize savings, investment capital, business development and unjustly force the breakup of thousands of businesses and properties. Businesses and jobs disappear. Employers, employees, retirees and heirs all lose when death taxes force liquidation of assets. SENIORS THRIVE ON SUCCESS OF THEIR CHILDREN (SUCCESS SHOULD BE REWARDED NOT PENALIZED) Whether helping finance a car, home, real estate, or business, seniors thrive on helping their children and grandchildren. They want them to economically succeed. Individual entrepreneurial success should be rewarded and their hard-earned money should stay theirs to dispose of as they wish. Past revenue appraisers even appraised wedding rings. A grandparent's or parent's death should not trigger a tax and penalize heirs. DEATH SHOULD NOT BE A TAXABLE EVENT- 9 VOTE "YES" ON I-920 Washington voters abolished inheritance taxes in 1981, with Yes - 610,507 (67.24%), No - 297,445 (32.76%). This "new" Washington Estate Tax is separate from the federal estate tax resulting in survivors possibly paying nearly 10% in taxes. Death should not be a taxable event. Vote "Yes." For more information, visit www.NoEstateTax.org or call 253.565.1776. Rebuttal of Statement Against Repealing the estate tax will not reduce general funds for education. The estate tax burdens working family businesses that invest capital to create jobs in Washington. Traditionally, education funding comes from the general fund, is accountable to performance audits and legislative review. Funding, using government, to tax at death is a burden on the American fam- ily dream of prosperity, accumulating property and giving to your children and grandchildren. Death should not be a taxable event. Voters' Pamphlet Argument Prepared by: DENNIS FALK, Chairman, Committee to Abolish Washington State Estate Tax; GENE E. LYNN, owner, Careage; CLAYTON R. JONES, Executive, Red Shield Insurance Company; LEE KEARNEY, retired; MARCIA ATKINSON, writer; LINDA G. HANNA, retired. StatementAgainst Initiative Measure 920 DON'T REPEAL FUNDS FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION I-920 would gut a vital source of dedicated funding for educa- tion by repealing Washington's estate tax. No one who's not a multimillionaire pays the tax. ONLY THE WEALTHIEST ESTATES PAY; FAMILY FARMS EXEMPT The estate tax affects less than 1% of Washington's families, applying only to estates worth more than $2 million for individu- als and $4 million for couples. In fact, taxes are only charged on amounts above those thresholds. If a couple's estate is worth $4,050,000, taxes are only 10% of $50,000. Family farms are totally exempted, so farmers can freely pass their property on to their children. A FAIR AND REASONABLE WAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY As it is, Washington's working- and middle-class families already pay too much of the tax burden. The estate tax is a fair and reasonable way for the fortunate few to give something back. Repealing it will take $100 million away from public schools and penalize thousands of kids. IT'S A MATTER OF PRIORITIES: MORE EDUCATION NOT MORE TAX BREAKS FOR MULTIMILLIONAIRES Estate taxes by law go into the Education Legacy Trust Fund. The Fund is instrumental in the voter -mandated effort to help reduce K-12 class sizes, giving students more individual atten- tion from teachers. Washington's classes are among the nation's largest and I-920 would frustrate efforts to reduce class sizes. The Trust Fund also supports efforts to make higher education more affordable for students from working families. It is far more important to support public education than to allow a few wealthy heirs to avoid paying their fair share. It's a one-time payment from the very few and it means so much to thousands of kids. Vote no on I-920. For more information, call 206.621.1042. Rebuttal of Statement For The few heirs affected by the estate tax are the wealthiest among us. Only estates over $2 million for individuals ($4 mil- lion for couples) pay any tax. The most fortunate should give back something to the society that made their wealth possible. 99.5% of estates, including all family farms and most small businesses, pay no tax. Enacting this measure would take $100 million from public education. Vote no — no more tax breaks for multimillionaires!

J � INITIATIVE MEASURE 933 PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION Official Ballot Title: Initiative Measure No. 933 concerns government regulation of private property. This measure would require compensation when government regulation damages the use or value of private property, would forbid regulations that prohibit existing legal uses of private property, and would provide exceptions or payments. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes[] No[] Note: The Official Ballot Title and Explanatory Statement were written by the Attorney General as required by law. The Fiscal Impact Statement was written by the Office of Financial Management. For more in-depth fiscal analysis, visit www.ofm.wa.gov/initiatives/default.htm. The complete text of Initiative. Measure 933 begins on page 21. Fiscal Impact Statement summoa of Fiscal IMPAd Initiative 933 is estimated to cost state agencies $2 billion to $2.18 billion over the next six years for compensation to property owners and administration of the measure. In the same time period, the Initiative is estimated to cost cities $3.8 billion to $5.3 billion, based upon number of land -use actions since 1996, and is estimated to cost counties $1.49 billion to $1.51 billion. Costs are derived from the requirement that, with specific exceptions, state agencies and local governments must pay compensation when taking. actions that prohibit or restrict the use of real and certain personal property. Assumptions 5uppnrting Fiscal Imnacf_51atement • State and local governments would be required to document the impact,of new rules or ordinances that may affect the use or value of private property prior to its adoption and evaluate less restrictive alternatives. State agencies estimate additional costs to the rule -making process of $24 million over six years. Based upon population it is estimated to cost cities between $80 and $103 million and counties between $28 and $36 million over six years. • Claims for payments asserting that state or local rules and ordinances result in damage to use or value to property would be triggered when state and local governments deny or restrict private property owners who file permit applications with state or local governments to develop, harvest or otherwise make use of their property. Claims would also be triggered when a state or local government took an action to enforce an existing rule, ordinance or permit. • According to state agencies, approximately 5,920 claims per year is estimated to be filed, and would likely be made for restrictions placed upon timber harvest, surface mining, activities occurring in rivers and streams to protect fish life, ac- tivities to preserve clean water, and activities involving the state's shorelines. Claims processing is estimated to cost state agencies approximately $1.86 million over the next six years. • Claims -processing costs for local governments from claims in local -land use, local -shoreline management plans and critical -area designations programs are assumed in the estimates for the additional analysis required for rule or ordinance adoption. • State agencies would need to complete appraisals to verify compensation claims, resulting in a cost to state agencies of approximately $115 million over six years. The estimate is based on costs of $7,500 per appraisal for real property and $2,600 per timber cruise. Using similar appraisal costs, but assuming they would occur when there are appeals of deci- sions, the estimated cost to cities is between $130 and $556 million and to counties between $13 million and $66 million over six years. a INITIATIVE MEASURE 933 Fiscal Impact Statement (continued) • Under existing laws, appeals related to compensation levels would be filed in Superior Court. Between 5 percent to 20 percent of all claims (275-1,100) for state agencies is estimated to be appealed annually, increasing state agency litigation costs between $29.8 million and $98.8 million over the next six years. Using a standard cost per city based upon population, it is estimated to cost cities between $126 million and $161 million over six years and counties between $35 and $45 million over six years for litigation costs. • Superior Courts and the Courts of Appeal will have additional costs resulting from claim decisions made by state agencies. The Office of the Administrator for the Courts estimates that these costs will be divided as follows: costs to the counties will be between $495,000 and $830,000 and the cost to the state will be -between $82,000 and $328,000. Assuming a total of 5,000 appeals from state and local government action, there would be an additional $3.9 million in first year costs and $2.7 million in subsequent years. • Assuming there are 5,920 claims per year, state agencies have estimated a range of compensation between $344 million and $352 million annually or $1.89 billion to $1.9 billion over six years. This estimate does not include compensation that may be required for restrictions placed upon 900 Hydraulic permits annually issued by the Department of Fish and Wildlife, which cannot be determined due to the highly site -specific requirements for these permits. Also not included are compensation estimates for timber -harvest restrictions occurring on unstable slopes or to protect marbled murrelet habitat; restrictions for Bald Eagle Site Management Plans occurring on nonresidential permits; and for setbacks to protect drinking water systems or setback and lot size requirements for onsite sewage systems required by the Department of Health. • It is estimated to cost cities between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion to pay compensation for actions that have occurred since 1996. The estimate is based upon a survey of cities on possible impacts, population growth rates, and assessed value. • County governments planning under the Growth Management Act could see potential claim for compensation of approximately $1.4 billion over six years. This is based upon the potential compensation request for loss in value for acreage equivalent to that contained in the counties urban growth areas. No estimate is included for a loss in value for counties not planning under the Growth Management Act because of the inability to determine Ehe number of acres in each county designated as critical areas such as geologic hazards, critical fish and wildlife habitats, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas or frequently flooded areas. • These compensation estimates assume that state agencies and local governments will be unable to waive any current restric- tions that may reduce the use or value of private property. It is also assumed that the state will not delegate back to the federal government federally delegated programs (i.e., Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, etc.). No estimate has been made for any future actions taken by governments that may require compensation or for actions that attempt to reduce liability caused by the Initiative. • The compensation estimates are also based primarily upon potential loss in value to real property. No estimate has been made for any potential loss to personal property. • State law does not allow for the estimation of private costs or benefits from this or any other initiative. 10 The Office of the Secretary of State is not authorized to edit statements, nor is it responsible for their contents.

These laws are subject to constitutional and statutory requirements that provide certain protections to private property owners. Washington's constitution requires state and local government to pay an owner of private property just compensation before taking or damaging private property for a public use, and in general prohibits government from taking private property for private use. The federal constitution provides similar protections. A common example of the requirement for just compensation occurs when government acquires private property to build a public road. The constitution requires government to pay fair market value for private property taken to build the road and for damages to private property used for the road building but not taken. The constitutional requirement to pay just compensation also applies under limited circumstances to laws that restrict the use of private property. If the restriction completely eliminates the owner's economic use of real property, or if the restriction involves a physical intrusion onto the private property, then just compensation is generally required. Whether regulations or restrictions on use of real property otherwise amount to a taking or damaging of private property under the constitution (and thus require payment of just compensation) depends on the particular effects on property. A restriction on real property may require just compensation depending on the economic impact of the restriction on the property, how the restriction affects legitimate property uses and the property owner's reasonable investment -backed expectations, and whether the restriction reflects a reasonable means for achieving an important public objective. Under the state and federal constitutions, a property owner may bring an action for just compensation to obtain the fair market value of property taken or damaged by the government, if the government has not paid compensation. Under the Washington Constitution, the property owner may also bring an action to invalidate government action that is taking or damaging private property and there is no public use, only a private use. Under current state law, a property owner who has applied for a permit to use property may recover damages, attorney fees, and other costs where a state or local agency action on the permit application is arbitrary or capricious, or if the state or local agency does not act within time limits established by law. RCW 64.40. Under a variety of laws, a property owner may challenge state or local government restrictions on the use of property and obtain an agency review or judicial remedy if a restriction is not allowed under state or local laws. These statutory protections for property owners are in addition to the constitutional right to just compensation described above. Under current state law, state agencies and local governments are required to follow an orderly and consistent process using advice and education from the Attorney General's Office to evaluate proposed actions affecting the use of property and to avoid taking or damaging private property without just compensation. RCW 36.70A.370. The process applies to all state agencies and to those local governments that plan and regulate land uses under the Growth Management Act. The effect of the proposed measure, if it becomes law: As described below, Initiative Measure 933 would require a government to consider and document certain factors prior to enacting laws regulating private property. The Measure would also require a government to pay compensation to private property owners to enforce restrictions "damaging the use or value" of private property as defined by the Measure, which would require compensation in circumstances in addition to those where the state or federal constitutions would require compensation. Development regulations could not prohibit legal uses existing on a parcel of property. Initiative Measure 933 would require state and local government agencies to consider and document certain matters prior to enacting an ordinance, regulation, or rule that may "damage the use or value" of private property. "Private property" is defined to include all real and personal property interests protected by the state and federal constitutions, including and not limited to interests in land, buildings, crops, livestock, mineral and water rights. In general, "real property" refers to land, interests in land, and things attached to the land; "personal property" includes all other property. Government would be required to consider and document several factors, including: (1) identifying the private property to be affected by a proposed action; (2) the purpose(s) to be served by the action and the connection between the action and its purpose(s); (3) the extent to which the action deprives property owners of uses of property, or interferes with a property owner's right to exclude others, to possess property, to enjoy property, or to dispose of property; (4) estimated compensation that would be required under the Measure for "damaging the use INITIATIVE MEASURE 933 Explanatory Statement (continued) The effect of the proposed measure, if it becomes law: (continued) or value of property"; and (5) alternative less restrictive means of accomplishing the governmental purposes, including voluntary cooperation. The Measure defines "damaging the use or value of property" as meaning "to prohibit or restrict the use of private property to obtain benefit to the public the cost of which in all fairness and justice should be borne by the public as a whole," and includes examples of restrictions that would and would not result in "damaging the use or value" of private property, triggering the requirement for compensation. Under Initiative Measure 933, examples of government action "damaging the use or value" of property and requiring compensation would include enforcement of any ordinance, regulation, or rule to private property: • Prohibiting or restricting the use or size, scope, or intensity of any use legally existing or permitted as of January 1, 1996; • Regulating the use of tidegates, bulkheads, or structures reasonably necessary to protect private property, the operation and maintenance of irrigation structures, or how a private property owner responds to flooding, erosion, or fire conditions; • Requiring a portion of real property to be left in a natural state or with no beneficial use to the owner, unless necessary to prevent immediate harm to human health and safety; or • Prohibiting maintenance or removal of trees or vegetation. Initiative Measure 933 provides that enforcement of restrictions that apply equally to all property subject to a state or local agency's jurisdiction would not "damage the use or value" of private property, and so would not require compensation. Under the Measure, examples include: • Restricting the use of property to prevent immediate threat to human health or safety; • Requiring compliance with structural standards like building or fire codes to prevent harm from natural disasters like fire, flood, or earthquake; • Limiting location of sex offender housing or adult entertainment; • Requiring compliance with federal laws restricting chemical uses, with worker health and safety laws, and with worker wage and hour laws; • Requiring compliance with ordinances establishing setbacks from neighboring property lines, but only if the setbacks were set before January 1, 1996. Under Initiative Measure 933, if a local or state agency decided to enforce or apply an ordinance, regulation, or rule "damaging the use or value" of property, the agency must first pay the property owner compensation, and an agency that chooses not to. take such an action is not liable for paying the property owner. Compensation would be the amount by which the fair market value of affected property is decreased by application or enforcement of the ordinance, regulation, or rule, and the fair market value of any portion of the property required to be left in a natural state or without beneficial use. Compensation also would include the property owner's reasonable attorney fees to enforce compensation under the Measure. Initiative Measure 933 would not limit existing state or local government authority to waive or vary the requirements of existing laws. The Measure would prohibit an agency from QJharging a fee to consider whether to waive or vary a law to avoid paying compensation that would be required under the Measure. Initiative Measure 933 would amend current law to provide that "development regulations" could not prohibit uses legally existing on any parcel prior to their adoption. The term "development regulations" refers to controls placed on development or land use activities by a county or city such as zoning ordinances, critical areas ordinances, shoreline master programs, planned unit development ordinances, and subdivision ordinances. 12 The Office of the Secretary of State is not authorized to edit statements, nor is it responsible for their contents.

IT'S FAIR: PROTECTING THE USE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY PROTECTS OUR JOBS, RETIREMENTS AND PUBLIC SERVICES In the past 10 years, excessive government regulations have violated our rights and made it difficult for farmers and other property owners to use their property in reasonable ways. For most of us, our homes are our greatest investment. Govern- ment should not be able to change the rules and strip us of the use or value of our private property. I-933 protects our jobs, our economy and our retirement plans that depend on reasonable use of private property. IT'S FAIR: I-933 REQUIRES GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER COSTS AND RESPECT PROPERTY OWNERS' RIGHTS Too often, government adopts regulations without fully under- standing the impact on the people it represents. I-933 will require government to identify the likely impact on property owners and pursue voluntary, cooperative efforts to achieve environmental goals before adopting new regulations. IT'S FAIR: I-933 RETURNS RESPONSIBILITY FOR LAND - USE PLANNING TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND CITIZENS Instead of accepting top -down mandates from unelected state officials, local government will be required to assess the impact of its actions on local property owners, thus giving citizens more say in local land -use decisions, and holding local officials accountable for their actions. Agencies can choose whether to compensate property owners or avoid damaging the use and value of private property. But the main point of I-933 is to have government avoid damaging property in the first place. IT'S FAIR: I-933 REQUIRES GOVERNMENT TO RESPECT OUR RIGHTS AND FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION Washington's state constitution says, "No private property shall be taken or damaged ... withoutjust compensation." I-933 will force government to respect our rights and follow the constitution. For more information, visit www.propertyfairness.com or call 360.528.2909. Rebuttal of Statement Against I-933's opponents will say anything to maintain big govern- ment control of private property. Their claims simply aren't true. If local regulations prohibited development or activities 10 years ago, it will still be prohibited after I-933 passes. However, if you prove government action damaged use or value of your property, government would compensate you or avoid causing damage. I-933 forces government to consider costs and follow our state constitution by paying if regulations damage your property.

Statement Against Initiative Measure 933 A POORLY WRITTEN, LOOPHOLE -RIDDEN INITIATIVE THAT LEAVES HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS UNANSWERED Initiative 933 is deceptive and misleading. It provides no protection from eminent domain abuses. Instead, the special interests behind I-933 crafted loopholes that force Washington taxpayers to pay billions to a small group of property owners, or force communities to waive safeguards against irresponsible development. WHO BENEFITS FROM I-933'S LOOPHOLES? Here is an example of how the loopholes work. If laws prevent a property owner from expanding a strip mall in a neighborhood or building a subdivision on farmland, I-933 would force the community into a no -win choice —either waive the law or have taxpayers pay the property owner for not being able to build. How will governments decide which laws to waive and who taxpayers pay? One thing is certain: I-933 is so poorly written it will generate endless lawsuits. Special interests will hire the best lawyers and win out over communities. The lawyers' fees and administration alone will cost taxpayers millions. Don't be fooled — irresponsible development hurts farming. Hundreds of family farmers oppose I-933. WHY WILL I-933 COST TAXPAYERS SO MUCH? AND WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM? In Oregon, a similar law generated almost $4 billion in claims against taxpayers. I-933 could cost each Washington taxpayer thousands yearly in additional taxes or lost services. HOW WILL I-933 HARM SAFEGAURDS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES? Communities have worked hard to protect their quality of life, but I-933 applies retroactively to laws going back at least 10 years! This would force communities to waive hundreds of existing safeguards we have depended on to protect neighbor- hoods and farmland, prevent water pollution, traffic and over- development. I-933 is a costly assortment of loopholes, lawsuits, and special deals. Please vote no! For more information, call 206.323.0520. Rebuttal of Statement For What's fair about irresponsible development? Worse traffic? ,More taxes? Ask yourself who stands to gain from I-933's loop - Far from restoring balance, I-933's loopholes allow irrespon- sible development to damage farmlands. That's why farmers and farm -workers oppose it — including Western Washington Agri- cultural Association, Whatcom County Agricultural Preservation Committee, and United Farm Workers. There's nothing fair about thousands of dollars in new taxes each year, damaging our neighborhoods, and jeopardizing our quality of life. Vote no.

This measure would require certain electric utilities with 25,000 or more customers to meet certain targets for energy conservation and use of renewable energy resources, as defined, including energy credits, or pay penalties. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [] No [] Note: The Official Ballot Title and Explanatory Statement were written by the Attorney General as required by law. The Fiscal Impact Statement was written by the Office of Financial Management. For more in-depth fiscal analysis, visit www.ofm.wa.gov/initiatives/default.htm. The complete text of Initiative Measure 937 begins on page 22. Fiscal Impact Statement Emseal Impact Statement for Initiatove Initiative 937 would cost state government $2.34 million in administrative costs over 14 years or an average of $167,000 per year. The offices of the Attorney General, Auditor, Utilities and Transportation Commission, and the departments of Community Trade and Economic Development, and Labor and Industries each would have a role in monitoring or assisting compliance. The initiative's fiscal impact on Washington's local governments cannot be determined due to variables ranging from future fuel costs to changes in demand for electricity. For the same reason, the impact of electricity costs for state and local governments cannot be determined. Assumptions for Fiscal Analysis of Initiative 937 • The initiative requires the 17 largest electric utilities, which includes both public and private entities, in Washington to have 15 percent of their power supply generated from renewable resources by 2020; interim targets are also established. The utilities must also set and meet energy conservation targets starting in 2010. The Attorney General, State Auditor, Utilities and Transportation Commission, and the departments of Community Trade and Economic Development, and Labor and Industries each would require additional funds to implement the initiative. These funds would pay for: enforcement activity by state agencies to ensure resource targets were being met; rule making; legal advice; additional audits; and development of required apprenticeship programs for the renewable energy field. Local utility cost and revenue impacts are a function of fuel mix, load growth, and future fuel costs and cannot be estimated at this time. The Office of the Secretary of State is not authorized to edit statements, nor is it responsible for their contents. y 15 0J* INITIATIVE MEASURE 937 j Explanatory Statement The law as it presently exists: Electricity is supplied in Washington by both privately -owned companies (investor -owned utilities) and by publicly -owned utilities (utilities owned by cities, public utility districts, and certain other local government units). Some of these utilities operate their own facilities for generating electricity (typically hydroelectric dams or coal- or gas -fired generators). Some of these utilities purchase some or all of their electrical power from other utilities, from private producers or sellers of power, or from regional governmental entities such as the Bonneville Power Administration. The state Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) regulates the rates and practices of investor -owned electric utilities serving customers in this state. Under existing law, the UTC is required to adopt and implement policies to provide financial incentives for energy efficiency programs, apd may authorize utilities to issue conservation bonds for the construction, acquisi- tion, and operation of conservation assets. Each investor -owned electric utility has conservation service tariffs that charge rates sufficient to recover from its customers the utility's cost of conservation investment. The UTC does not regulate publicly -owned electric utilities that serve customers in this state. These utilities are directly re- sponsible to the voters in their service territories for their rates, services, and policies. Under existing law, cities operating electric utilities may issue bonds or otherwise borrow money for energy conservation purposes, and are required to develop conserva- tion plans to assist the public in conserving energy. Public utility districts are subject to similar energy conservation planning requirements, and are also authorized to assist citizens by financing the acquisition and installation of materials and equipment for energy conservation purposes. The effect of the proposed measure, if it becomes law: Under existing law, electric utilities in this state are not obligated to meet any specific numeric targets for either energy con- servation or use of renewable resources to produce power. The proposed measure would impose targets for energy conservation and use of eligible renewable resources on all electric utilities that 'serve more than 25,000 customers in this state. Energy conservation. By January 1, 2010, each such electric utility would be required to identify its "achievable cost-effective conservation potential" through 2019, and to update this assessment at least every two years. "Conservation" would mean "reduc- tion in electric power consumption resulting from increases in the efficiency of energy use, production or distribution." Each utility would be required to set an annual target consisting of a certain share of this achievable cost-effective conservation potential, and to meet that share of conservation. In determining whether a utility meets its annual conservation target, the utility could include the reduction in electric energy sold to retail customers which own and use a high -efficiency cogeneration facility to meet some of their own power needs. Renewable resources. Each utility would also be required to meet specific targets for using eligible renewable resources to produce electricity, stated as a percentage of the utility's load. "Load" refers to the total amount of electricity the utility sold that year to its retail customers. Examples of eligible renewable resources include wind farms, solar panels, and geothermal plants. With limited exceptions, use of fresh water by hydroelectric dams and plants is not included as an eligible renewable resource. Each utility would have to use renewable resources to serve at least three percent (3%) of its load by 2012 through 2015; nine percent (9%) of load by 2016 through 2019, and fifteen percent (15%) of load by 2020 and thereafter. A utility could comply with its annual renewable resource target by using the requisite amount of eligible renewable resources, by purchasing enough eligible renewable resource credits (or a combination of each), or by investing at least four percent (4%) of its total annual retail revenue requirement in renewable resources. Cost recovery, penalties, reporting and enforcement. An investor -owned utility would be entitled to recover from its custom- ers all costs the utility prudently incurred to comply with the measure. Similarly, each publicly -owned utility would be expected to recover its cost of compliance from its customers. If a utility fails to comply with either the energy conservation or the renewable energy targets, it would have to pay a penalty in the amount of $50 for each megawatt -hour of shortfall. This penalty amount would be adjusted annually for inflation. Penalty payments would go into a special account, and could only be used for the purchase of renewable energy credits or for energy conservation projects at state and local government facilities or publicly -owned educational institutions. In each year beginning in June 2012, each utility would be required to report to the state Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (CTED) on the utility's progress in the preceding year in meeting the targets. The investor -owned utilities would supply the same information to the UTC. Each utility would be required to make these reports available to its customers. The UTC would be authorized to implement and enforce the measure as to investor -owned utilities, and to adopt rules accord- ingly. For publicly -owned utilities, CTED would be authorized to adopt procedural rules and documentation requirements; the state auditor would be responsible for auditing compliance with the measure; and the Attorney General's Office would be responsible for enforcement. Statement For Initiative Measure 937 INITIATIVE 937 PROVIDES A CLEANER, MORE AFFORDABLE ENERGY FUTURE As Washington's demand for energy grows, we can choose where we get our electricity. We can either burn more fossil fuels like coal that pollute the air. Or we can use more clean, affordable renewable energy like wind and solar power — produced here in the Northwest. I-937 is the cleaner; more affordable energy choice: • 15% renewable energy. It requires the largest electric utilities to get 15% of their electricity from new renewable energy by 2020. • Energy conservation. It requires utilities to help consumers and businesses save money through energy conservation. INITIATIVE 937 SAVES ENERGY AND SAVES US MONEY I-937 gives us cheaper, renewable alternatives like wind and solar. According to Puget Sound Energy, just two Washington wind farms are projected to save consumers $170 million. Renew- able energy strengthens family farms by paying up to $5,000/year per wind turbine. I-937 also saves money by requiring utilities to offer energy efficiency programs, like cash rebates for energy efficient appli- ances, home weatherization, and lighting, heating and cooling systems for businesses. INITIATIVE 937 IS A COMMON SENSE, PROVEN APPROACH I-937 is an approach that's already working in 20 states. I-937 lets us take hold of our energy future and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. INITIATIVE 937 WILL GIVE US CLEANER AIR Pollution from fossil fuels contributes to thousands of cases of lung disease and asthma each year. Renewable energy helps protect our families' health by keeping our air clean. Join the broad coalition including Union of Concerned Scien- tists, Washington Public Utility District Association, and Physi- cians for Social Responsibility choosing a clean energy future. Vote yes! on 1-937. For more information, visit www.yeson937.org or call 206.283.3335. Rebuttal of Statement Against Don't be misled by corporate polluters. I-937 opponents run the Washington Research Council; don't trust its study. I-937 will save us energy and money — through conservation and cheaper, cleaner energy. . Twenty states have adopted this approach, with proven cost savings — in just two years, Colorado consumers have saved $14 million. I-937 protects consumers and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Yes on I-937! For cleaner air and more affordable energy.

President, Washinaton State Alliance of Retired Amerwans. Statement Against Initiative Measure 937 I-937 WILL INCREASE ELECTRIC RATES AND UTILITY TAXES FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES. Alternative energy projects are being built now, but when required by law energy will be more costly for everyone. The non -partisan Washington Research Council estimates that I-937 will cost at least $185 million per year and could cost twice that much. Vote no on higher energy costs. Alternative energy projects are heavily subsidized by a federal tax cut that ends next year. If it is not renewed by Congress, the cost for alternative energy could increase an extra 40%. Higher energy costs put family -wage manufacturing and high-tech jobs at risk and hurt hospitals, family farms and small businesses. Lower -income households and senior citizens on fixed incomes will be disproportionately impacted by higher energy bills. I-937 DOES NOT TREAT LOW-COST HYDROPOWER AS "RENEWABLE ENERGY" WHILE OTHER STATES DO. I-937 will cause low-cost hydropower to be sold to California while local utilities buy higher cost alternative energy for our homes and businesses. FINES ON UTILITIES FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH "RENEWABLE ENERGY" WILL BE PAID BY HOMES AND BUSINESSES. Mandates and fines proposed by I-937 are not the way to pro- mote alternative energy. We are paying too much for our energy bills now. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PROJECTS ONLY OPERATE SPORADICALLY AND MANY COMMUNITIES WON'T ALLOW THEM. , Wind and sunshine are irregular energy sources. Hydropower or thermal plants are needed to supply steady power for homes and businesses. But hydropower resources are being cut to protect fish and may not be available to supplement alternative energy. I-937 does not require utilities to build alternative energy proj- ects in Washington. Kittitas and Benton counties have rejected wind power proposals due to public opposition. Other states may financially benefit from these mandated projects, while we pay the cost. Vote No and visit www.NOonI-937.com . Rebuttal of Statement For Puget Sound Energy and other utilities are already building wind projects, but only when they make economic sense. I-937 will make non -hydropower renewable energy even more expen- sive. The Northwest Power and Conservation Council reports the cost of new wind projects has "risen substantially," because of mandates in other states. There is nothing affordable about I-937. $185 to $370 million per year in additional energy costs to our households and busi- nesses is too much. Vote no.

This amendment would authorize the legislature to increase the personal property tax exemption for taxable personal property owned by each "head of a family" from three thousand ($3,000) to fifteen thousand ($15,000) dollars. Should this constitutional amendment be: Approved [ ] Rejected [ ] Votes cast by the 2006 Legislature on final passage: Note: The Official Ballot Title and Explanatory Statement were Senate: Yeas, 46; days, 0; Excused, 3. written by the Attorney General as required by law. The complete House: Yeas, 96; Nays, 0; Excused, 2. text of House Joint Resolution 4223 begins on page 26. Explanatory Statement The constitutional provision as it presently exists: The state constitution and state statutes provide for a property tax based on the value of property. Property taxes apply to both real property (land, buildings, and permanent fixtures) and personal property (all other property that is not real estate). The amount of the tax is determined based upon the assessed valuation of the property. Certain personal property is exempt from tax, including household goods, furnishings and personal effects used by the owner, and most business merchandise. Personal property subject to property tax consists mainly of office furniture and business equipment, fixtures, and machin- ery. The state constitution authorizes the legislature to enact an additional statutory exemption for taxable personal property worth up to $3,000 owned by each individual who is a "head of a family" and the legislature has done so. An individual who is a "head of a family," as defined by statute, and by rule of the Department of Revenue, qualifies for the exemption. A "head of a family" is defined to include a husband or wife, or a surviving spouse not remarried; any person receiving an old age pension under state laws; any citizen of the United States, over the age of sixty-five who has resided in Washington continuously for ten years; and other individuals who reside with and provide care and maintenance for family members, as defined. Corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships do not qualify for the exemption. When an individual who qualifies as a "head of a family" owns taxable personal property, the individual is entitled to an exemption of up to $3,000. The effect of the proposed amendment, if it is approved: The proposed constitutional amendment would authorize the legislature to increase the maximum personal property tax exemption for taxable personal property owned by each "head of a family" from $3,000 to $15,000. so Statement For HJR 4223 Small businesses are the heart of Washington's economy. Yet, the local businesses that provide good jobs for our families and communities often struggle to stay afloat. This proposed constitutional amendment — HJR 4223 — will help local businesses grow and succeed. Currently, businesses must pay a personal property tax on their assets. The first $3,000 of their assets are exempt from the tax. HJR 4223 would raise the exemption allowed under the State Constitution to $15,000. Increasing the exemption will help businesses throughout Washington. Start up businesses, in -home businesses and businesses updating old equipment — such as computers or machinery — will benefit from this change. This amendment will: • Save money for Washington's employers, enabling them to invest more in their workers and in improving competitiveness; • Enable small businesses to upgrade their technologies without substantially increasing their tax burden; • Reduce paperwork. This reform is long overdue. While the cost of everyday items has increased significantly, this exemption has not been raised since 1988. HJR 4223 was prime -sponsored by State Representative Derek Kilmer, who works with small businesses every day as a manager with the Economic Development Board in Pierce County. The proposal passed unanimously out of the State House and Senate. It received the support of the Association of Washington Business, the National Federation of Independent Business, the Independent Business Association and local businesses throughout our state. As citizens, we have the ability to pass this constitutional amendment and help our small businesses compete. Please vote «yes."

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF WASH- INGTON: INTENT TO REQUIRE FAIRNESS WHEN GOVERNMENT REGULATES PRIVATE PROPERTY NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. This act is intended to protect the use and value of private property while providing for a healthy environ- ment and ensuring that government agencies do not damage the use or value of private property, except if necessary to prevent threats to human health and safety. The people also intend to recognize and promote the unique interests, knowledge, and abilities private property owners have to protect the environment and land. To this end, government agencies must consider whether voluntary cooperation of property owners will meet the legitimate interests of the government instead of inflexible regulation of property. The people find that over the last decade governmental restric- tions on the use of property have increased substantially, creating hardships for many, and destroying reasonable expectations of being able to make reasonable beneficial use of property. Article I, section 16 of the state Constitution requires that government not take or damage property without first paying just compensation to the property owner. The people find that government entities should provide compensation for damage to property as provided in this act, but should also first evaluate whether the government's deci- sion that causes damage is necessary and in the public interest. The people find that eminent domain is an extraordinary power in the hands of government and potentially subject to misuse. When government threatens to take or takes private property under „eminent domain, it should not take property which is unnecessary for public use or is primarily for private use, nor should it take property for a longer period of time than is necessary. Responsible fiscal management and fundamental principles of good government require that government decision makers evaluate carefully the effect of their administrative, regulatory, and legisla- tive actions on constitutionally protected rights in property. Agen- cies should review their actions carefully to prevent unnecessary taking or damaging of private property. The purpose of this act is to assist governmental agencies in undertaking such reviews and in proposing, planning, and implementing actions with due regard for the constitutional protections of property and to reduce the risk of inadvertent burdens on the public in creating liability for the government or undue burdens on private parties. FAIRNESS WHEN GOVERNMENT REGULATES PRIVATE PROPERTY BY REQUIRING CONSIDERATION OF IMPACTS BEFORE TAKING ACTION NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 64.40 RCW to read as follows: (1) To avoid damaging the use or value of private property, prior to enacting or adopting any ordinance, regulation, or rule which may damage the use or value of private property, an agency must consider and document: (a) The private property that will be affected by the action; (b) The existence and extent of any legitimate governmental purpose for the action; (c) The existence and extent of any nexus or link between any 'legitimate government interest and the action; (d) The extent to which the regulation's restrictions are pro- portional to any impact of a particular property on any legitimate government interest, in light of the impact of other properties on the same governmental interests; (e) The extent to which the action deprives property owners of economically viable uses of the property; (f) The extent to which the action derogates or takes away a fundamental attribute of property ownership, including, but not limited to, the right to exclude others, to possess, to beneficial use, to enjoyment, or to dispose of property; (g) The extent to which the action enhances or creates a publicly owned right in property; (h) Estimated compensation that may need to be paid under this act; and (i) Alternative means which are less restrictive on private property and which may accomplish the legitimate governmental purpose for the regulation, including, but not limited to, voluntary conservation or cooperative programs with willing property owners, or other nonregulatory actions. (2) For purposes of this act, the following definitions apply: (a) "Private property" includes all real and personal property interests protected by the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I, section 16 of the state Constitution owned by a nongovernmental entity, including, but not limited to, any interest in land, buildings, crops, livestock, and mineral and water rights. (b) "Damaging the use or value" means to prohibit or restrict the use of private property to obtain benefit to the public the cost of which in all fairness and justice should be borne by the public as a whole, and includes, but is not limited to: (i) Prohibiting or restricting any use or size, scope, or intensity of any use legally existing or permitted as of January 1, 1996; (ii) Prohibiting the continued operation, maintenance, replace- ment, or repair of existing tidegates, bulkheads, revetments, or other infrastructure reasonably necessary for the protection of the use or value of private property; (iii) Prohibiting or restricting operations and maintenance of structures necessary for the operation of irrigation facilities, in- cluding, but not limited to, diversions, operation structures, canals, drainage ditches, flumes, or delivery systems; (iv) Prohibiting actions by a private property owner reasonably necessary to prevent or mitigate harm from fire, flooding, erosion, or other natural disasters or conditions that would impair the use or value of private property; (v) Requiring a portion of property to be left in its natural state or without beneficial use to its owner, unless necessary. to prevent immediate harm to human health and safety; or (vi) Prohibiting maintenance or removal of trees or vegetation. (c) "Damaging the use or value" does not include restrictions that apply equally to all property subject to the agency's jurisdiction, including: (i) Restricting the use of property when necessary to prevent an 20 The above text is an exact reproduction as submitted by the Sponsor.

This subsection (2)(c) shall be construed narrowly to effectuate the purposes of this act. (d) "Compensation" means remuneration equal to the amount the fair market value of the affected property has been decreased by the application or enforcement of the ordinance, regulation, or rule. To the extent any action requires any portion of property to be left in its natural state or without beneficial use by its owner, "compensation" means the fair market value of that portion of property required to be left in its natural state or without beneficial use. "Compensation" also includes any costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the property owner in seeking to enforce this act. FAIRNESS WHEN GOVERNMENT DIRECTLY REGULATES PRIVATE PROPERTY NEW SECTION Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 64.40 RCW to read as follows: An agency that decides to enforce or apply any ordinance, regula- tion, or rule to private property that would result in damaging the use or value of private property shall first pay the property owner compensation as defined in section 2 of this act. This section shall not be construed to limit agencies' ability to waive, or issue vari- ances from, other legal requirements. An agency that chooses not to take action which will damage the use or value of private property is not liable for paying remuneration under this section. NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 64.40 RCW to read as follows: An agency may not charge any fee for considering whether to waive or grant a variance from an ordinance, regulation, or rule in order to avoid responsibility for paying compensation as provided in section 3 of this act. NEW SECTION, Sec. 5. A new section is added to chapter 36.70A RCW to read as follows: Development regulations adopted under this chapter shall not prohibit uses legally existing on any parcel prior to their adoption. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to authorize an interfer- ence with the duties in chapter 64.40 RCW. MISCELLANEOUS NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. The provisions of this act are to be liberally construed to effectuate the intent, policies, and purpose of this act to protect private property owners. NEW SECTION. Sec. 7. Nothing in this act shall diminish any other remedy provided under the United States Constitution or state Constitution, or federal or state law, and this act is not intended to modify or replace any such remedy. NEW SETIO sLI. Sec. 8. Subheadings used in this act are not any part of the law. NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. If any provision of this act or its appli- cation to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected. NEW SECTION. Sec.10. This act shall be known as the property fairness act.

(1) Each qualifying utility shall pursue all available conservation that is cost-effective, reli- able, and feasible. (a) By January 1, 2010, using methodologies consistent with those used by the Pacific Northwest electric power and conserva- tion planning council in its most recently published regional power plan, each qualifying utility shall identify its achievable cost- effective conservation potential through 2019. At least every two years thereafter, the qualifying utility shall review and update this assessment for the subsequent ten-year period. (b) Beginning January 2010, each qualifying utility shall estab- lish and make publicly available a biennial acquisition target for cost-effective conservation consistent with its identification of achievable opportunities in (a) of this subsection, and meet that target during the subsequent two-year period. At a minimum, each biennial target must be no lower than the qualifying utility's pro rats share for that two-year period of its cost-effective conservation potential for the subsequent ten-year period. (c) In meeting its conservation targets, a qualifying utility may count high -efficiency cogeneration owned and used by a retail electric customer to meet its own needs. High -efficiency cogenera- tion is the sequential production of electricity and useful thermal energy from a common fuel source, where, under normal operating conditions, the facility has a useful thermal energy output of no less than thirty-three percent of the total energy output. The reduction in 22 The above text is an exact reproduction as submitted by the Sponsor. The Office of the Secretary of State has no editorial authority.

(d) The commission may determine if a conservation program implemented by an investor -owned utility is cost-effective based on the commission's policies and practice. (e) The commission may rely on its standard practice for review and approval of investor -owned utility conservation targets. (2)(a) Each qualifying utility shall use eligible renewable resources or acquire equivalent renewable energy credits, or a combination of both, to meet the following annual targets: (i) At least three percent of its load by January 1, 2012, and each year thereafter through December 31, 2015; (ii) At least nine percent of its load by January 1, 2016, and each year thereafter through December 31, 2019; and (iii) At least fifteen percent of its load by January 1, 2020, and each year thereafter. (b) A qualifying utility may count distributed generation at double the facility's electrical output if the utility: (i) Owns or has contracted for the distributed generation and the associated renew- able energy credits; or (ii) has contracted to purchase the associated renewable energy credits. (c) In meeting the annual targets in (a) of this subsection, a quali- fying utility shall calculate its annual load based on the average of the utility's load for the previous two years. (d) A qualifying utility shall be considered in compliance with an annual target in (a) of this subsection if: (i) The utility's weather - adjusted load for the previous three years on average did not increase over that time period; (ii) after the effective date of this section, the utility did not commence or renew ownership or incre- mental purchases of electricity from resources other than renewable resources other than on a daily spot price basis and the electricity is not offset by equivalent renewable energy credits; and (iii) the utility invested at least one percent of its total annual retail revenue requirement that year on eligible renewable resources, renewable energy credits, or a combination of both. (e) The requirements of this section may be met for any given year with renewable energy credits produced during that year, the preceding year, or the subsequent year. Each renewable energy credit may be used only once to meet the requirements of this sec- tion. (f) In complying with the targets established in (a) of this subsec- tion, a qualifying utility may not count: (i) Eligible renewable resources or distributed generation where the associated renewable energy credits are owned by a separate entity; or (ii) Eligible renewable resources or renewable energy credits obtained for and used in an optional pricing program such as the program established in RCW 19.29A.090. (g) Where fossil and combustible renewable resources are cofired in one generating unit located in the Pacific Northwest where the cofiring commenced after March 31, 1999, the unit shall be consid- ered to produce eligible renewable resources in direct proportion to the percentage of the total heat value represented by the heat value of the renewable resources. (h)(i) A qualifying utility that acquires an eligible renewable resource or renewable energy credit may count that acquisition at one and two -tenths times its base value: (A) Where the eligible renewable resource comes from a facility that commenced operation after December 31, 2005; and (B) Where the developer of the facility used apprenticeship programs approved by the council during facility construction. (ii) The council shall establish minimum levels of labor hours to be met through apprenticeship programs to qualify for this extra credit. (i) A qualifying utility shall be considered in compliance with an annual target in (a) of this subsection if events beyond the rea- sonable control of the utility that could not have been reasonably anticipated or ameliorated prevented it from meeting the renew- able energy target. Such events include weather -related damage, mechanical failure, strikes, lockouts, and actions of a governmental authority that adversely affect the generation, transmission, or distribution of an eligible renewable resource under contract to a qualifying utility. (3) Utilities that become qualifying utilities after December 31, 2006, shall meet the requirements in this section on a time frame comparable in length to that provided for qualifying utilities as of the effective date of this section. NEW SECTION, Sec. S. RESOURCE COSTS. (1)(a) A qualify- ing utility shall be considered in compliance with an annual target created in section 4(2) of this act for a given year if the utility invested four percent of its total annual retail revenue requirement on the incremental costs of eligible renewable resources, the cost of renewable energy credits, or a combination of both, but a utility may elect to invest more than this amount. (b) The incremental cost of an eligible renewable resource is calculated as the difference between the levelized delivered cost of the eligible renewable resource, regardless of ownership, compared to the levelized delivered cost of an equivalent amount of reason- ably available substitute resources that do not qualify as eligible renewable resources, where the resources being compared have the same contract length or facility life. (2) An investor -owned utility is entitled to recover all prudently incurred costs associated with compliance with this chapter. The commission shall address cost recovery issues of qualifying utilities that are investor -owned utilities that serve both in Washington and in other states in complying with this chapter. NEW SECTION. Sec. 6.ACCOUNTABILITYAND ENFORCE- MENT. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, a qualifying utility that fails to comply with the energy conserva- tion or renewable energy targets established in section 4 of this act shall pay an administrative penalty to the state of Washington in the amount of fifty dollars for each megawatt -hour of shortfall. Beginning in 2007, this penalty shall be adjusted annually accord- ing to the rate of change of the inflation indicator, gross domestic product -implicit price deflator, as published by the bureau of economic analysis of the United States department of commerce or its successor. (2) A qualifying utility that does not meet an annual renewable energy target established in section 4(2) of this act is exempt from Complete Text of INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 937 (continued) the administrative penalty in subsection (1) of this section for that year if the commission for investor -owned utilities or the auditor for all other qualifying utilities determines that the utility complied with section 4(2) (d) or (i) or 5(1) of this act. (3) A qualifying utility must notify its retail electric customers in published form within three months of incurring a penalty regarding the size of the penalty and the reason it was incurred. (4) The commission shall determine if an investor -owned utility may recover the cost of this administrative penalty in electric rates, and may consider providing positive incentives for an investor - owned utility to exceed the targets established in section 4 of this act. (5) Administrative penalties collected under this chapter shall be deposited into the energy independence act special account which is hereby created. All receipts from administrative penalties collected under this chapter must be deposited into the account. Expenditures from the account may be used only for the purchase of renewable energy credits or for energy conservation projects at public facilities, local government facilities, community colleges, or state universities. The state shall own and retire any renewable energy credits purchased using moneys from the account. Only the director of general administration or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropria- tion is not required for expenditures. (6) For a qualifying utility that is an investor -owned utility, the commission shall determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter and assess penalties for noncompliance as provided in subsection (1) of this section. (7) For qualifying utilities that are not investor -owned utilities, the auditor is responsible for auditing compliance with this chapter and rules adopted under this chapter that apply to those utilities and the attorney general is responsible for enforcing that compliance. NEW SECI' QN. Sec. 7. REPORTING AND PUBLIC DISCLO- SURE. (1) On or before June 1, 2012, and annually thereafter, each qualifying utility shall report to the department on its progress in the preceding year in meeting the targets established in section 4 of this act, including expected electricity savings from the biennial conservation target, expenditures on conservation, actual electricity savings results, the utility's annual load for the prior two years, the amount of megawatt -hours needed to meet the annual renewable energy target, the amount of megawatt -hours of each type of eligible renewable resource acquired, the type and amount of renewable energy credits acquired, and the percent of its total annual retail revenue requirement invested in the incremental cost of eligible renewable resources and the cost of renewable energy credits. For each year that a qualifying utility elects to demonstrate alternative compliance under section 4(2) (d) or (i) or 5(1) of this act, it must include in its annual report relevant data to demonstrate that it met the criteria in that section. A qualifying utility may submit its report to the department in conjunction with its annual obligations in chapter 19.29A RCW. (2) A qualifying utility that is an investor -owned utility shall also report all information required in subsection (1) of this section to the commission, and all other qualifying utilities shall also make all information required in subsection (1) of this section available to the auditor. (3) A qualifying utility shall also make reports required in this section available to its customers. NEW SECTION. Sec. 8. RULE MAKING. (1) The commission may adopt rules to ensure the proper implementation and enforce- ment of this chapter as it applies to investor -owned utilities. (2) The department shall adopt rules concerning only process, timelines, and documentation to ensure the proper implementa- tion of this chapter as it applies to qualifying utilities that are not investor -owned utilities. Those rules include, but are not limited to, rules associated with a qualifying utility's development of conservation targets under section 4(1) of this act; a qualifying utility's decision to pursue alternative compliance in section 4(2) (d) or (i) or 5(1) of this act; and the format and content of reports required in section 7 of this act. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to restrict the rate -making authority of the commission or a qualifying utility as otherwise provided by law. (3) The commission and department may coordinate in develop- ing rules related to process, timelines, and documentation that are necessary for implementation of this chapter. (4) Pursuant to the administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, rules needed for the implementation of this chapter must be adopted by December 31, 2007.

I succeeded in toughening our privacy laws. America needs a strong foreign policy, but it's time for other countries, like Iraq, to provide their own security. U.S. troops should start coming home this year. I helped build a Washington company and I know good -paying jobs require investments in education, job training, and new technologies. I have worked to open up more markets to our agricultural products. With the help of federal financial aid, I was the first in my family to graduate from college. I know many families need help paying for the dream of a college education. I stood up to Republicans and big oil companies to stop increased supertanker traffic in Puget Sound, fought and beat Enron when they tried to charge Washingtonians millions for energy they never delivered, and when President Bush tried to increase our energy rates almost forty percent, I joined with others and blocked the increase. I'm fighting for our seniors by working to require drug companies to sell drugs at lower costs for Americans, stopping efforts to privatize Social Security and working for a better Medicare benefit that delivers real, affordable prescription drug coverage. I passed a law to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by increasing our use of domestic biofuels. Just as with the aerospace and software industries, Washington can lead the way and get America off of fossil fuels, relying on our farmers and our domestic refiners. I'm working to preserve our quality of life and stand up for our Northwest values. For me, the people of Washington state come first. To learn more, please visit www.cantwell.com.

They spend their time bickering, pointing fingers and fighting about who deserves credit for what little they accomplish. Their focus is on getting re-elected, not on solving the real problems facing our families and communities. Nothing will change if we just send the same people back to Washington, D.C. The Senate needs new leaders who will actually solve problems." - Mike McGavick Mike McGavick is exactly the proven problem solver we need. Born and raised in Washington, Mike is a father, husband and business leader. Mike worked in the Senate at a time when it actually produced results. As the CEO of Safeco, Mike brought people together and through hard. work and personal responsibility, led Safeco back from the brink of bankruptcy, saving thousands of Northwest jobs. Mike's decisive leadership will produce results. Deficit Spending. Out of control federal spending hurts every American. A consistent vote for higher taxes, the incumbent voted for. more spending than any other Senator in the 10811 Congress. Mike has a record of delivering better services rnare efficiently. He will make the hard choices to stop deficit spending. Terrorism. America is still vulnerable to terrorist attack and the Senate has not done enough to protect us. Mike will vote to adopt the full set of 9/11 Commission recommendations for a safer America. Border Security. Unsecured borders threaten our communities but the Senate doesn't act. We must secure our borders while providing for an adequate workforce. While the Senate is gridlocked by partisanship, our problems get worse. They have closed their minds and hearts. But it hasn't always been this way. It's time to send back a voice of Northwest common sense and civility, Mike McGavick, to focus again on solving the real problems facing our families and communities. 26 The above text is an exact reproduction as submitted by the Sponsor.

I have a vision of a free and peaceful America that respects the rights of everyone. For years, the bi-partisan leadership in DC has taken us farther away from that vision. It's time for new leadership and a fresh approach to politics. I'm committed to restoring the great American promise for this generation — and those to come. A Policy of Peace. Americans are peace -loving people. Yet American military policy has jeopardized our peaceful relations with the rest of the world. We must begin the immediate, safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. We must reduce permanent US troop deployment around the globe. We must ensure that we have the best defensive military in the world by keeping it all -volunteer and treating our service members with dignity and respect. . A Culture of Freedom. America was founded on the understanding that society flourishes when individuals are free. Yet the current administration demonstrates a complete disregard for this basic principle. We must stop treating innocent Americans like criminals and end domestic spying programs. We must legally recognize an individual right to medical freedom. We must ensure that all individuals are given equal protection under the law. A Legacy of Hope. I want to create a better world for our children and grandchildren while honoring those who sacrificed so much for our sake. We must protect future generations from runaway spending and reduce the deficit. We must reallocate resources to honor our obligations to seniors and veterans. We must restore faith in our democracy by ensuring fair and open elections, investigating and prosecuting corruption, and restoring the Constitutional checks and balances to our system. Vote Your Values. If you share my vision of a free and peaceful America, I would be grateful for your support and your vote.

Party candidates will "follow" Parties which don't know what is wrong. I am an independent: I have 40 years of community work, a family raised, and a degree in Political Philosophy and Economics at Claremont under Milton Friedman's Chicago Group friend, Martin Diamond. The economy is the most critical election issue!! • The Economy: a hidden river of money: The Sub -Economy. Moving more money than Economy itself. Not measured. Paying few taxes. Unrecognized, totally man made (no plagues, asteroids...). Created by "bad" laws passed in Congress + Power to Tax = "imbalances. " ["imbalances" = "monopoly profits"; 2/3 government] Money in Circulation is money belonging to people and businesses: the "sucking noise" of money (Perot) is impoverishing Americans regressively. So much money removed that it has halted economic growth and created a "ftat" economy. Money moves into less and less use = terrible inflation. More money is pumped from Circulation than goes in threatening implosion ("crash"). Much is dumped into Investments "glutting" markets, driving down earnings. And driving American investors "global," with trade deficits and America "abandoned." I have begun to write law to reverse the Sub -Economy: (1) Endowment Fund — making Social Security Profitable in seventeen years; using committed money (2) "People's Insurance" (chartered stock companies) creating alternative parallel insurance offering cheap and full coverage; requiring "new" tools: spread risk, actuarial tables, assigned risk, and premium funds. Good Law! • Iraq: strategic positioning. Congress: "mismanaged money." Military Benefits: Priority. • Privacy: Neither government nor business belong in our private lives. • The Constitution it will take decades to restore. • Global Weather earth into Ice Age 8000 years ago: didn't get cold; no Ice Sheets.

We need to end the catastrophic wars in Iraq and around the world. Our continued military occupation provokes more violence and instability, costing lives and bringing grief to families here and in Iraq. This war costs $100,000 per minute —money that should be going to our health care, schools, neighborhoods, renewable energy and deteriorating infrastructure. I say bring the troops home now. Trade agreements like NAFTA undermine industries and farms here, and decimate economies abroad. I will only support trade agreements that protect workers and the environment, and end welfare for wealthy corporations. I will fight for the rights of working people, native-born and immigrant alike. Democrats and Republicans have surrendered to the politics of fear, twice passing a Patriot Act that has trampled our civil liberties. I will fight to repeal such legislation, and defend our Bill of Rights. I'll work for universal health care, affordable housing, living wage jobs, and comprehensive educational reform in our schools. I'll be a leader on solving disastrous climate change. I'll work to build the movements supporting a woman's right to choose, marriage equality, and racial justice. At 13, 1 marched with Martin Luther King, and later co-founded the Seattle Black Panther Party, which pioneered free breakfast programs, food banks, health and legal clinics. I've spent years working for nonprofits in our communities and, in 2002, founded Central House to work with disadvantaged youth. It is this legacy that I will bring to the U.S. Senate as the candidate of the Green Party of Washington State —a positive alternative to the corporate two-party system.

Rick was born and raised in Arlington, and his family has called Northwest Washington home for 104 years. Rick is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and strongly supports our troops. He is fighting to make sure our troops have the equipment and support needed to do the job we have asked them to do. He is leading efforts to protect Naval Air Station Whidbey and Naval Station Everett and position them for future national security missions. Additionally, border security is a top priority. Rick secured funding to triple the number of border patrol agents for our district. Congressman Larsen is also dedicated to building a culture of hope for those in need — including our communities struggling to fight methamphetamine and our veterans. Rick Larsen is working with local law enforcement to ensure it has resources to stop methamphetamine use and production in our communities. He wants a government that fights methamphetamine use with the same sense of urgency as local law enforcement and our community leaders. Veterans' health care must be closer to veterans. Rick is working with local veterans to build a new outpatient -based clinic in our area so that veterans needing critical health care do not have to travel to Seattle. In Congress, Rick is working for affordable and reliable electricity rates that will keep jobs at the Alcoa Aluminum plant in Ferndale and Kimberly-Clark in Everett. Additionally, Rick helped the Snohomish County Public Utility District fight and win a judgment against Enron and saved taxpayers over 100 million dollars in bogus energy charges. As a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rick secures funding for critical traffic projects, like safety improvements on Highway 2. Please vote for Rick Larsen.

I'm not another professional politician. After retiring from 27 years in the Navy I've run a business, helped build our local school system and my wife, Bonnie, and I have raised our sons. Now I'm running for Congress. How would you grade Congress today? What have long term incumbents like Rick Larsen done to address the real issues? The answer is ... almost nothing. What they're good at is protecting, their jobs and perpetuating the system. I'm going to be a different representative than Rick Larsen because I think the people of northwest Washington deserve it: • I will be tight fisted with your tax money. The incumbent has voted with the spenders. Our national debt is the result. • I will vote to secure our national borders. The incumbent has voted against doing what it takes. • I will support common sense ideas — like salvaging dead and burned timber. The incumbent votes against those ideas so he can gain endorsement from the radical environmental groups. • I will support steps to achieve more energy independence. The incumbent votes against domestic energy production measures. • I will support reforms to Social Security before it goes bankrupt. The incumbent's only answer is to oppose change. How can we expect different results if we continue to elect the same people to public office? We can't of course. I urge you to vote for a change in course. Vote for Doug Roulstone for Congress.
