@snowblind. Perhaps they should have written the 2nd and 3rd try in ways that comply with state law, then they would have been safe.

Perhaps you should either get your stove fixed or learn how to cook. My electric stove works just fine. And, if an electric stove isn't good enough, there's even better technology in terms of induction stoves.

@GANTZ100pts You say that, but where's your evidence? You anti-tax people are lame, you folks assert things like that, but most of you are living in areas of the state where you're getting more out of the tax coffers than you put in.

@GANTZ100pts There were 3 options on the ballot early on and eventually the last vote was surface street versus tunnel. A street would have been absolute madness and people saying otherwise are completely out of their mind. Just look at how large the street we have along the waterfront now, just imagine how much bigger it would have had to be in order to also handle the through traffic trying to bypass downtown completely.

@leviharrison4127 So? Trying to get something thrown out that might not even win is one thing, judges are often times hesitant to intervene on something that may wind up becoming moot. But, the whole thing does have a massive issue in terms of one ultrawealthy individual being behind the initiatives and him not necessarily having the best of intentions. In this case, all of the initiatives on the ballot were unnecessarily confusing and that's been an increasing trend in recent years where it's not at all clear how you need to vote if you have one position or the other.

Not really, it's jealousy. You're jealous that there are more people living there who are making more money than you are. Most of the rest of the state suckles off the King County teet whenever taxes are being distributed. There's an amazing lack of any sort of appreciation for what the county does for you.

What are you talking about? Nobody was going to be converting old homes over to electric only. The mains are still in the ground and are unlikely to be removed until the number of customers drops below whatever level is needed to justify the infrastructure. As far as the expense, $50k is a lie. It's a few hundred dollars, maybe $5k tops as all of these homes already have the 230v service coming to the home that an electric oven and anything else would use.

As in the only people in the state that are actually impacted by this. The folks in Eastern Washington have no need for this as you don't have inversions there and the population is a lot less dense. This was just another situation where jealous folks in rural areas trying to stick it to the urban dwellers that are actually making money.

Why? The bulk of the people who voted for this were never going to be impacted by this in the first place.
