~ In a unanimous decision, the Tacoma City Council has adopted Resolution 41972, expressing their opposition to two initiatives on the upcoming November 3, 2026 General Election Ballot. The first initiative, IL26-001, focuses on parental rights in public schools and seeks to repeal amendments made to a statute regarding these rights. This initiative would revert the law back to its original form as passed by Initiative No. 2081 in 2024 by the Washington state Legislature.
