Should Washington voters support a publicly-financed political campaign system? And how would democracy credits work? Supporters say I-1464 will create more transparency in elections and encourage more political participation. Opponents worry the funding mechanism, ending the out-of-state sales-tax exemption, will hurt local businesses. Plus they argue any new revenue should go towards more pressing needs like education. Don't miss our debate on dollars and democracy!
