I have no problem with preventing drunks from driving, but some of us purposely live in neighborhoods where we can WALK home from the bar. Why the fuck should I have to pony out $50 for a cab I don't need?

I would require everyone who enters a bar to present, along with ID, a $50 taxi pass which is current and valid with their address and maybe even picture ID stamped on it.

As they leave if there is any sign of intoxication, they would be forced to use the pass and be verified by the cab driver that they rode all the way home.

(Actually maybe you could just do this with a drivers license...the drunk would be "ticketed" by the taxi company using their license for record keeping.)

No pass. No entry.

You're basing that on what? That they both are part of King County government? The King County Executive and the King County Sheriff have disagreed on various policy matters ever since the Sheriff was made an elected position. To infer the Sheriff or the Sheriff's Office supports something solely on the fact the Executive does is plain dumb.

I will be waiting for McGinn and his wonderfulness of Ideas to go back, way back, all the way back to New York where he came from?

Don't like the police involved in the WSLB and I don't like Politics involved in Decisions about public safety? The state issues licences and is responsible for the bag of crap that goes with it.
the night life has vanished as club after club has closed down with the economy and McGinns crap along with the Piss Dept wont come close to applying to next years problems? Seattle's night life will be 2 LGBT bars 1 Country bar 2 Rock bars 2 Discotechs and 5 sport bars and ten Asian or Mexican holes in the wall by this time next year?

1st ave is drying for crying out loud? Duh!

Either one is true (growing share of our taxes) or the other (shrinking police).

Can't have both.
