Staff report
Voters have said “nay” on many of the state's most contentious ballot issues.
Amendment 73 was failing with about 44.2 percent of voters (775,144 votes) favoring the measure that would raise income tax on a graduate scale for people making more than $150,000. The amendment would also raise the corporate income tax to 6 percent. The tide running against it was at 55.8 percent (977,438 votes).
Both Proposition 109 and 110 have around 60 percent of the voters saying no. The propositions were looking to raise funds for road projects. Proposition 109 would do so by allowing the state to borrow up to $3.5 billion with a total repayment of up to $5.2 million. Proposition 110 would raise the funds through a sales tax increase, which would bring the state sales tax up to 3.52 percent for the next 20 years.
Perhaps the state's most contested issue, Proposition 112, has nearly 57 percent of voters (1,020,058) saying no to the measure that would bar oil and gas developments within 2,500 feet of a private residence or high-occupancy structure.
