Most gratifying was the rejection by Tacoma voters of Tacoma's Prop 1, a 33% increase in utility taxes for electricity, natural and cell and land phone service.
Regardless of the voters rejection of the Prop 1, all concerned recognize that Tacoma has a road issue that must be rectified. The Chamber remains willing to work in partnership with other corroborating agencies or groups that share the goal of better roads for Tacoma.
I-517 (concerning initiative signature collection) and I-522 (regarding labeling of GMO foods), were defeated state-wide due to the educational efforts of broad coalitions of groups and individuals.
