Totally suspicious, coming a week and a month after the defeat of I-884.

Yeah, it is.

I also went to the Seattle Public Schools website - only 1 mention of bankrupt, bankruptcy or bankruptcies and not related to recent news.

I just forsee this as a cry for more money... INSTEAD of more reform. Let me quote Marsha Richards at ( http://www.mlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/politics-0/1099526943173870.xml&storylist=politics ):

"In the case of 884, voters saw through the rhetoric," said Marsha Richards, education reform director at the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank. She said voters didn't trust that the education tax would be spent well.

"Every year we hear we need more money for kids, and there's a disconnect," Richards said. "I don't think it can be fully explained by just an anti-tax mood."
