King County isn't Mason County. We have over 1.5 million people living here. We also have a pretty big percentage of the State's high maintenance people. Add to that all of the infrastructure to support this large population and business center and I think you can see that goverment here has a much bigger challenge.

I don't particular care for Ron Sims or some of the King County Council, but it is a daunting task to run a county as big and diverse as King . King County is facing and will face even bigger challenges as revenue continues to dry up. Eyman's idea of doing tax policy by inititative has alreaady contributed to many of the problems local goverments face. But, on the other hand, people vote for it. So people shouldn't complain when you can't get a cop or snow plow when you want it.
