Poverty Action's 2008 Vote for a Change campaign is on its way to educating and mobilizing over 30,000 voters across the state!
We know the big buzz is about the presidential candidates. But, we also know that important legislative races and initiatives are on the ballot too. Poverty Action wants to remind you to complete your ballot.
 Initiative 985 would take $125 million a year out of the state’s general fund and move it to a transportation account. Taking money out of the general fund would mean less money for health care and education. At this time of economic uncertainty, this means that more people would be unable to meet their basic needs.
 Initiative 1029 would improve long term care for seniors and people with disabilities by setting standards for caregiver training. This means that people have more options when it comes to care. It also provides more opportunities for low-wage long term care workers to earn more money or move into higher paying jobs.
