State Supreme Court strikes down two-thirds law on taxing
Seattle voters pay for service demands
The March 1 editorial on the state Supreme Court decision left the impression that Seattle voters are uniquely pointy-headed tax-lovers [“Two-thirds law dumped, but sentiment remains,” Opinion].
Do you miss the obvious — that Seattle voters are simply willing to pay for the services we demand? Perhaps voters in other parts of the state are not.
–Dennis J. Ortblad, Seattle
