@11:12 am - it's the weekend--Sunday morning even, the legislature isn't in session, so what's your beef?
Senator Chase has been fantastic this year - she sponsored an amendment to a bill that would have prevented the citizens from voting on the purchase of the water system by the Shoreline from Seattle -- it's required under decades old state law and the city tried to pass it through the legislature without the citizens knowing about it. Senator Chase put a stop to it by preserving the democratic process - it is going to cost over $50 million to buy the water system with no guarantee of an improvement in service and it will be paid for with a revenue bond. So now it's back to whether or not at least 60% of the citizens of the City of Shoreline want to pass more government debt to buy a system just for the pride of ownership, if the city got their way we never would have had a chance to vote but Senator Chase preserved our right to a vote. Got a problem with that?
Hmm, keep paying (plus a 14% premium) to a utility that I don't own and have no representation on (no recourse). Or, have the city where I live and can vote and have representation own it and maintain it with no additional increase in what I pay. Kind of seems a no brainer to me.
Gee, thanks Maralyn. When will the people in this district wake up to how detrimental you are.

Glad Chase has time for this while the state descends deeper into financial bankruptcy.

Yes, I do. Wonder how that fiddling is doing Nero?
