If you remember corectly the innniative to increase the sales tax to build Safeco Field was a state wide inniative that failed 51% against raising the sales tax and 49% for raising the tax. The current tax package was plan B after the first inniative failed.

FYI I don't really care for Rush. Alot of what he says is strictly to stir up the you know what. I prefer to listen to Michael Medved.

Hey Dan:

Acouple of weeks ago there was a King County Council member who proposed changing the districts to eliminate 5 of the 12 KingCounty Council Seats. I don't remember his name, but they had him on John Carlson's show for an hour discussing this issue. He was an "R" (I wish I could make that a bold shiney R). He said that eliminating the 5 seats and their staff would save the county 3 Million dollars a year. If that isn't puttin your huevos on the chopping block and doing what is right I don't know what is. I have have lost track of this issue, but I am sure Ron Tax to the Max Sims "d" (I wish I could make that a smaller dingier d especially for that jerk) isn't happy about it.
