Hey Dogfish,

I didn't mean to jump all over you, sorry. I saw that you said you voted for 696, what bothers me is that people still think that the supporters of 696 didn't know what effects it would have had (had it passed) on certain towns and economies... I was pretty well aware, and I think everyone else was, too. At the time, I was working on West Commodore Way, right behind the Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle. I talked with a lot of commercials about the initiative, both there and "in the trenches" while gathering signatures that summer at a bunch of public events (street fairs, parades, etc.) and rallying at places like Husky games. I learned a lot from those guys, all about what kind of ramifications it would have.
Like I said, no initiative is perfect, including that one... I personally had a conflict with it including trollers, but the people that wrote the text were advised (I think by lawyers) to include trollers in the wording.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that link you posted doesn't have the entire text on there...

Again, thanks for the info on Kevin, and good fishing.
