Initiative 892
Filed: 03/23/2004
Sponsor: Tim Eyman
Ballot Title
Initiative Measure No. 892 concerns authorizing additional “electronic scratch ticket machines” to reduce property taxes. This measure would authorize licensed non-tribal gambling establishments to operate the same type and number of machines as tribal governments, with a portion of tax revenue generated used to reduce state property taxes.
Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes[ ] No[ ]
Ballot Measure Summary
This measure would authorize licensed gambling establishments (charities, restaurants, taverns, bowling alleys, horse racing facilities, and card rooms) to operate “electronic scratch ticket machines” of the same type, and in the same total number, as authorized in state-tribal gaming compacts. Each licensee would keep 65% of the net win. Of the remaining amount, the state would cover administrative expenses, use 1% to address problem gambling, and use the remainder to reduce the state property tax.
