Passing I-933 on November 7 will determine whether or not Washington state private property rights are protected and the state's government is held accountable for the regulations imposed on individuals who own property - any property, private property.

• I-933 will make the government more accountable to its citizens:

• (Be sure to see the ad, linked at top of paragraph)

Government must tell citizens "why" we need new regulations.
Government must identify the properties they want to regulate.
Government must identify how much damage they will cause to the use and value of private property.
Government must determine if voluntary or cooperative programs can accomplish the goals.
If our elected officials and agencies then decide to damage the use and value of private property, they must follow the state Constitution and pay for the damage.

• MYTH 1: The government will not go bankrupt.

Although opponents say this will cause the government to go bankrupt, the government can avoid paying compensation by creating fairer laws that don't drastically harm property.
Secure property rights causes greater investment and a healthy economy.

• MYTH 2: I-933 will prevent the government from creating regulations that are necessary to keep us safe.

• I-933 does not impact regulations that:

Prevent an immediate threat to human health and safety,
Prevent harm from earthquakes, flooding, fire, etc.;
Limit the location or operation of sex offender housing or adult entertainment;
Require adherence to chemical use restrictions that have been adopted by the EPA;
Require Worker health and safety laws or regulations and wage and hour laws.
