Elway poll confirmed what our signature gatherers have been getting on the streets--4 out of five Seattle voters will sign Initiative 91. I-91 stops the Sonics giveaway by requiring the City to get fair value for anything it gives a pro-sports team. Find a copy of I-91, sign it, and send it in. If you can't find a copy in your Stranger, go to citizensformoreimportantthings.org and ask for one.

for the record, fuck the $25 per employee tax. This city already makes it hard to be a small business owner - this is just another way to stick it to the little guy.

Are the poll questions somewhere? Apparently one question has something to do with whether the respondents felt the price of the ST & RTID measure in 2007 will be fair (most thought it would be). I'd like to see how THAT question was phrased . . ..

Well, the best way would have been to build a monorail and double local bus transit at the same time.

But instead we'll spend much more than ten times that for an underwater tunnel and ... um, debt service? Or tolls on a road we could rebuild without tolls?

If you're starting with 43 percent in favor versus 42 against, you're almost certainly going to fail. Even 50 percent support is likely to slip.

I just got robocalled about I-91 this morning. But I already signed.

Tid-bitty, but I'll toss it in: I don't mind a 10% increase on commercial load permits. I have one, need one, use one for work. The city has added more yellow zones in the last year, and seems to have increased enforcement on non-commercial interlopers. You can be there and gone pretty quickly. It's a good system worth paying more for.

Smile, everything you get is transported and delivered by someone several times over.
