I wonder when the State Legislature will try to RAM it through against the wishes of the voters.

Just watch and see.
Remember when the state legislature called an "emergency" session after the voters rejected a taxpayer financed $500 million stadium for the Seattle Mariners. The legislature passed the bill, and the Governor signed it! All despite the overwhelming and clear "no" vote of the people.

They did the same with the gas tax we voted down. They wanted a 9 cent per gallon tax, the first of THREE phases of a massive tax hike to pay for transit and roads. Voters rejected it with a 2 to 1 margin.

Legislature gets together, first item of business was passing a 5 cent per gallon tax. I kid you not.

I will never forget that and it galls me every time I have to think about it.
