VOTERS’ PAMPHLET State Elections & San Juan County

General Election November 3

2020 2020

Official Publication Ballots mailed to voters by October 16 (800) 448-4881 | sos.wa.gov 2 A message from Assistant Secretary of State Mark Neary

On behalf of the Office of the Secretary of State, I am pleased to present the 2020 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet. We offer this comprehensive guide as a reference to help you find information on the candidates and statewide measures that appear on your ballot.

This general election gives you the opportunity to have a say in our government at the local, state, and national levels, and to choose who will serve as our nation’s next president. In order to have your voice heard, you must be registered to vote. Voter registration forms that are mailed or completed online must be received by October 26, and we encourage you to check your registration information today at VoteWA.gov. If you are reading this message after October 26 and you are not registered, have moved since the last time you voted, or did not receive a ballot, you can go to your local elections office or voting center during regular business hours through 8 p.m. on Election Day to register to vote and receive a ballot.

Once you have completed your ballot, you can send it via U.S. mail — no postage needed — but remember, all ballots must be postmarked by November 3. A late postmark could disqualify your ballot. The USPS recommends that you mail a week before Election Day. After that, we recommend using an official ballot drop box. Drop boxes are open until 8 p.m. on November 3.

We are committed to ensuring a safe and secure election for all Washingtonians, especially during this challenging time. Returning your ballot through the mail or at one of nearly 500 ballot drop boxes statewide can help you maintain proper social distancing and stay healthy. To locate a ballot drop box, visit VoteWA.gov. For more information about COVID-19, visit coronavirus.wa.gov.

Sincerely,

Mark Neary Assistant Secretary of State

The Secretary of State is not responsible for the content of statements or arguments (WAC 434-381-180). 24 Engrossed Senate Joint Resolution No. 8212 Explanatory Statement Fiscal Impact Statement Written by the Office of the Attorney General

The Constitutional Provision as it Presently Not required by law Exists The Washington Constitution generally prohibits investing public money in the stock of private companies. This means that state and local governments are limited to investing public funds in fixed-income securities, such as government and corporate bonds and certificates of deposit. The Constitution currently exempts several funds from this restriction. This exemption applies to any public pension or retirement fund, the industrial insurance trust fund, and money held in trust for the benefit of people with developmental disabilities. The exemption allows state and local governments to invest money held in those funds as authorized by law, including by investing in stock as authorized by the Legislature. In 2019, the Legislature enacted a law providing for long-term care insurance. Under that law, employees will pay premiums for state-sponsored long-term care benefits through a payroll deduction, beginning January 1, 2022. Those premiums will be deposited into a new Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Account (Trust Account). Under current law, money held in the Trust Account could not be invested in stocks. The Effect of the Proposed Amendment if Approved This Amendment would add the Trust Account to the list of funds that are exempt from the prohibition against investing public money in private stocks. This would allow money in the Trust Account to be invested in stock if the Legislature authorizes that form of investment. Voter tip:

Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District | Proposition No. 1 83 Argument For Argument Against The solid waste levy must be approved by voters every No information submitted. year. Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District (LSWDD) is projected to recycle over 300 tons, reclaim over 120 tons of glass, haul over 700 tons of garbage off island in 2020, and diverts over a ton of materials per day from landfills to reuse through Take It or Leave It (TIOLI). We predict over 28,000 customers will visit in 2020. LSWDD’s workforce includes eight part-time employees and volunteers provide over 3,000 hours of support annually. LSWDD has also partnered with Plastics Free Salish Sea, Transition Lopez Island and Lopez school to provide zero waste education. And our amazing crew of volunteer “Recycle Dogs” won the Washington State Recycling Association’s (WSRA) Recycler of the Year Award! LSWDD will continue with free self-separated recycling and $8 per garbage can. Ours is the lowest cost solid waste facility in the county. Garbage fees alone cannot support our system. This levy of $0.08322 per $1000 of assessed value will provide us $105,000 - a small price to pay for a well- managed, award-winning program that helps keep our beautiful rural island healthy and clean. Vote for Lopez Proposition 1 to keep our Lopez Dump and Take It Or Leave It operating under local control and managed according to Lopez values.
