If you drive under the influence of alcohol and get stopped, you lose the right to legally drive — period! What seems to be missing is the acknowledgment of what could have occurred. With constant reports of deaths and injuries caused by drunk drivers, how could anyone who wants to serve the good of the public knowingly drive after drinking alcohol? The police officers who arrested her for drunken driving, however, described her as falling-down drunk, profane and verbally abusive.
No matter how much a person drinks, he or she is not somehow transformed from Dr. Jekyll into Ms. The Romans had a phrase for the Jane Hagues of this world: in vino veritas. Seattle voters should remember that the real Hague made a brief appearance only after she was arrested.
It will only prevent the areas from adapting to the changing times already upon us, doing more harm to industry than good. A local teacher and environmental activist, Szwaja also has public-service experience — he was twice elected to the Madison, Wis. He also ran an impressive campaign against Congressman Jim McDermott, D-Seattle, in , earning 20 percent of the vote.
The article seems to imply that my opponent, Seattle City Councilmember Jean Godden, has not missed any major campaign events, when in fact she skipped at least one major event — the community forum held by the Seattle Alliance for Good Jobs and the Environment SAGE.
Finally, while the article was supposed to provide Web-site information for both campaigns, it omitted mine completely. There are two shams here. If we expect reading, writing and math standards to be meaningful, we must recognize Ms. Creating IEP involves parents and often includes requests for additional services to meet specific needs. Accountability comes directly from parent participation and expectations.
Because Federal and State rules and regulations offer many avenues for inclusion of additional services, lowballing is not a realistic fear. In fact, IEP imposes the best standard possible. Then every child could be working toward his or her individual potential. The prevention and treatment aspects of this plan will result in diversion from unnecessary jail stays, homelessness and costly use of the emergency health-care system.
These will save lives and dollars as, once again, King County moves to the forefront of providing services at a level designed to improve the plight of thousands, ranging from the working poor to the homeless population. Their perfect plan would be greener and likely involves congestion pricing and widespread tolling to force everyone out of their cars.
His perfect plan would somehow cram multiple lanes onto Highway , Interstate and Interstate 5; cost many times what Proposition 1 will cost; take forever to get environmental permits and would not provide long-term sustainable-transportation relief. Gregoire is correct when she says the state needs a sizable savings account and that legislatures of the past have not been good at saving money in good times for lesser times.
The fix is pretty easy. Put the money in the savings account without fiddling with the constitution.
The desire for savings, the distrust of future legislatures, should not lead to changing the constitution to force lawmakers of the future to abide by rules imposed today. This was challenged in a lawsuit and went to the Washington Supreme Court. In Clean v. Under Article II, Section I-b of the Washington Constitution, an emergency clause is the only exception to the right of referendum, which allows voters to veto a law by collecting signatures and putting it on the ballot.
That was the point of the putting an emergency clause in the stadium law: not to allow a public vote on the stadium.
Would require two-thirds legislative Would require two-thirds legislative approval or voter approval for tax increases, legislative approval of fee increases, certain published information on tax-increasing bills, and advisory votes on taxes enacted without voter approval.
Would make it unlawful for insurers to unreasonably deny certain coverage claims, and permit treble damage plus attorney fees for that and other violations. Some health-insurance carriers would be exempt.
