closeOpponents of the Service Employees International Union’s long-term care initiative plan to file a lawsuit to keep the measure off the ballot.
That’s according to a story by The Olympian’s Brad Shannon, which you can find here.
Backers for the measure, which would boost training and set certification standards for long-term care workers, turned in signatures for the initiative to the people on petitions designed for initiatives to the Legislature.
The state Attorney General's Office has determined the signatures are acceptable despite the snafu. In an e-mail to supporters today, I-1029 campaign Manager Jeff Parsons called it “a minor technicality.”
But others, including initiative promoter Tim Eyman, see it as anything but minor.
