According to the Seattle Times, three initiative campaigns are reporting that they already have more than enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, well in advance of the July 2 petition filing deadline. The three are:
- Initiative 1082: would allow private workers' comp insurance
- Initiative 1098: would tax adjusted gross incomes of more than $200,000 for individuals and $400,000 for joint filers, with the revenue generated going to fund a 20 percent cut in the state property tax, an increase in the business and occupation tax credit for small businesses, and a new trust fund for improving education and health services
- Initiative 1100: would close state liquor stores and allow private parties to be licensed to sell liquor
A total of 46 initiatives are circulating in hopes of reaching the November 2010 ballot in Washington.
