  • 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Barnes April 14, 2010 206-999-9908 | [email protected] 2010 Missed Votes Report for Legislators Released Olympia – WashingtonVotes.org has released its annual Missed Votes Report, detailing missed roll call votes on bills for every legislator during the 2010 Legislative Session, including the special Session. WashingtonVotes.org, the premier legislative information website in Washington, provides concise, plain-English, objective descriptions of every bill, amendment and vote of the Washington legislature. WashingtonVotes.org Director Brandon Houskeeper said “the Missed Votes Report enables Washingtonians to track the actions of their elected officials in Olympia without having to read and record information from thousands of pages of legislative documents.” Houskeeper added, “our Missed Votes Report puts that same information in front Washingtonians with just one or two clicks.” There are a variety of reasons legislators miss votes. Houskeeper observed. “Legislators are often meeting with constituents, other lawmakers or dealing with unexpected emergencies, and that is the value of the Missed Votes Report.” Houskeeper noted, “Washingtonians can use WashingtonVotes.org as an informational resource and tool to see if legislators have a consistent pattern of missing votes.” To see the total number of votes each Senator and Representative missed during the 2010 Session, go to http://www.washingtonvotes.org/MissedVotes.aspx and adjust the date range accordingly. You can see reports from previous sessions by changing the date criteria at the top of the page. Click on a legislator’s name for detailed information about the votes he or she missed. WashingtonVotes.org contacted the legislators from each chamber who missed the most votes and gave them an opportunity to explain why they missed votes.

  • Washington State 2015 Gas Tax Increase
    Washington Senate Bill (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 5987 Purpose: A $16 billion, 16-year transportation plan, which included an 11.9 cents-per-gallon gas tax increase—gradually implemented beginning Aug. 1, 2015, and fully applied on July 1, 2016—and an increase in transportation-related fees, including those for overweight vehicles. The bill also permits Sound Transit residents to vote on a plan to increase taxes for an additional $15 billion in order to expand the region’s light rail system. Status of Amendment: Passed Washington Senate Bill 5987 (2015) Signed into law: July 15, 2015 Senate House FOR 37 54 AGAINST 7 44 History State Gas Tax Before SB 5987, drivers in Washington state paid a flat excise tax on gasoline of 37.5 cents-per-gallon. That amount was last set in 2005, when the state legislature approved a 9.5 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase (phased in over four years). The package, including an increase in vehicle weight fees, was estimated to raise $8.5 billion over a 16-year period. Previous gas tax increases were implemented in 2003, 1991, and 1990. Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Washington state’s highway and ferry system is funded through a combination of motor vehicle fuel taxes (23%); vehicle licenses, permits, and fees (12%); federal funds (26%); bonding (23%), and other sources such as tolling, ferry fares, and local funding (16%).i The transportation budget pays for “maintaining, preserving, and improving the highway system; operating ferries; motor vehicle registration; and enforcing traffic laws on the state highway system.” ii The state’s gas tax of 37.5 cents-per-gallon was constitutionally dedicated for ‘highway purposes’ in the 18th Amendment (November 1944).
