The State Patrol says the cause of the crash was an illegal pass and possible charges are pending.

Secretary of State Sam Reed is expected to officially certify I-1107 tomorrow.

Secretary of State’s Office Deputy Communications Director Brian Zylstra says the measure would repeal new taxes on candy, pop, bottled water and certain other products.

I-1107 is the last of six initiatives cleared for the ballot by the Office of Secretary of State this month.

The other five initiatives that Washington voters will decide on this fall are:– I-1053, restoring the two-thirds voting requirement for the Legislature to raise taxes. — I-1098, authorizing a state income tax on high-wage earners and lowering some taxes.– I-1082, the plan to allow private insurers to offer coverage for workplace injuries.– I-1100, which would end the state liquor monopoly and allow current retailers to sell hard
liquor along with their beer and wine, and I-1105, the second liquor privatization proposal.

Whereas Initiative 1100 would let retailers buy liquor stock directly from manufacturers, I-1105 would require use of wholesalers.

Three other measures will be on the statewide ballot this fall.
