SEATTLE —
A judge Wednesday declined to issue an injunction stopping Washington’s Initiative 1183, which would privatize the state’s liquor industry, from taking effect. The Cowlitz County Judge set a constitutionality hearing on the matter for March 5.
Small retailers are challenging I-1183 saying it unconstitutionally violates a rule that initiatives must only address a single issue.
