Vote in Washington state could ease school levy requirements
Sept. 19, 2007
Measure seeks to lower threshold for approval to a simple majority instead of 60 percent.
Forty-eight days before Election Day, there’s no organized opposition to the measure that would lower the bar for passing school levies in Washington state. Some see the Nov. 6 election as the best chance school supporters have had in years to change the 60 percent supermajority requirement that Washington voters set in place 75 years ago.
