Slog - Comments on Meanwhile, Down the Ballot http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/06/meanwhile_down_the_b Seattle Citizens for Free Speech, the group that wants to overturn the four-foot rule in strip clubs (among other new restrictions) has raised nearly $550,000. I'm not positive, but I think that may be the largest amount ever raised for a city initiative—and the election is still five months away....
