Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill aimed at helping voters better understand the fiscal impacts of a ballot measure before they vote.  Under the bill introduced by 14th District Representative Norm Johnson, the secretary of state would request an explanatory statement from the Attorney General’s office and a fiscal impact statement from the Office of Financial Management, and a timeline for those offices to meet the requests in order to be printed in the Voters’ Pamphlet.   Those statements would also be provided in advance to the committees who are developing arguments for and against each measure.  Johnson introduced the bill following voter approval in November of Initiative 1351, which directed the Legislature to allocate funds to reduce class sizes and increase staffing support for K-12 students.  Johnson said the idea behind the initiative is commendable, but he didn’t believe voters understood what it would cost, estimated by some at four billion to seven billion dollars.
