Why our ballot's so big
Now that the dust has settled on August voting, it's time to take a quick cleansing breath, and turn our attention to the four voter initiatives slated for the November ballot.
They’re coming from the right side of the aisle, they’ve got some big money, and feisty politicians backing them.
Northwest News Network state government reporter Jeanie Lindsay joins the pod to talk through all the ballot initiatives voters will decide on in November.
