Because the proposition is badly written. It requires labeling of about 30% of food items sold in grocery stores but not the other 70%.
Other bad thing about the proposition is that farmers and food producers in Washington state face unfair competition from other 49 states who do not require GMO labels. It would require farmers to forego GM seeds because people are not sure if GM foods are good or bad. That would most certainly increase cost of food in the state.

As for the Seattle minimum age, I don’t think a city has the authority to set wages. Watch for that to go to court if it passes.
“I voted against it along with all voting members in my family.”

It is Obama’s dream state. His mother attended a communist church near Seattle.
