YAKIMA, Wash. -- The city of Yakima says our infrastructure could be at risk if voters say yes to a new measure that would lower car tab fees. If initiative 976 passes, car tab fees would be lowered to just 35 dollars.
Several people at the Yakima Vintiques Car Show say they are tired of having to pay hundreds of dollars for those car tabs.
Some even question how the money has been spent.
The city of Yakima says those fees specifically fund projects like the one on North First Street.
"Phases two and three, which are the biggest phases of that project, rely primarily on car tab fee revenue. Without that car tab fee revenue, those two phases of the First Street revitalization project likely wouldn't happen," says Randy Beehler Spokesperson for the City.
Critics say the initiative may cost cities across the state billions of dollars and put other major projects on the west side at risk.
Initiative sponsor Tim Eyman said he turned in 286,000 signatures last year and expected to turn in 40,000 more before 2018 ended, according to KOMO-TV.
Now it's up to the voters to decide this upcoming November.
