The problem we have in Washington is intiatives are only good for 2 years and then the legislature can modify it. So even if it passes it may just be temporary. I think the decididng factor is by how large of a margin it passes. If it passes by a large margin maybe the legislature will leave it alone.
The other issue we have is judges coming in and killing these intiatives because they don't think we know what we're voting for.
All we can do is keep moving forward.
