MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
CERTIFICATION OF INITIATIVE TO THE LEGISLATURE NO. 940
Pursuant to Article 11, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution, RCW 29A.72.230, and WAC 434-37 9-010, the Office of the Secretary of State has caused the signatures submitted in support of Initiative to the Legislature No. 940 to be examined in the following manner:
1. It was determined that 359,895 signatures were submitted by the sponsors of the initiative. A random sample of 10,833 signatures was taken from those submitted;
2. Each sampled signature was examined to determine if the signer was a registered voter of the state, if the signature was reasonably similar to the one appearing on the record of that voter, and if the same signature appeared more than once in the sample. We found 9,100 valid signatures, 1,732 signatures that were invalid and 1 pair of duplicated signatures in the sample;
3. We calculated an allowance for the chance error of sampling (62) by multiplying the square root of the number of invalid signatures by 1.5;
4. We estimated the upper limit of the number of signatures on the initiative petition which were invalid {59,615) by dividing the sum of the number of invalid signatures in the sample and allowance for the chance of error of sampling by the sampling ratio;
5. We determined the maximum allowable number of duplicate pairs of signatures on the petition {40,658) by subtracting the sum of the number of signatures required by Article II, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution (259,622) and the estimate of the upper limit of the number of invalid signatures on the petit ion from the number of signatures submitted;
6. We determined the expected number of duplicate pairs of signatures in the sample (37) by multiplying the square of the sampling ratio by the maximum allowable number of pairs of signatures on the initiative petition;
7. We determined the acceptable number of duplicate pairs of signatures in the sample {27) by subtracting 1.65 times the square root of the expected number of pairs of signatures in the sample from the expected number of pairs of signatures in the sample; and
8. The number of duplicate pairs of signatures in the sample is less than the acceptable number of duplicate pairs of signatures in the sample.
Therefore, I hereby declare Initiative to the Legislature No. 940 to contain sufficient signatures.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the State of Washington this 23rd day of January, 2018.
Kim Wyman
Secretary of State
/s/ Mark Neary, Assistant Secretary of State

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Sheldon: “Thank you Madam President. You and I have both been here a long time and one of the things that has personally been bothering me for a long while here this year is the appearance of the capitol dome. It is, I would call it, kind of a swampy grey color. When you come in tomorrow in the daylight, take a look at the color of that dome and think, ‘Are we sending a message to the public that this is a well-kept capital campus?’. I am not proud of the way it looks and I hope that we can make some changes. I talked to some of the fellows that work downstairs that wear blue uniforms and they will tell you the same thing. They are state employees and are also disappointed in the appearance of this building from the outside. I am lodging my complaint. Thank you.”
