		<description><![CDATA[I submitted the I-1068 petition half full of signatures. I&#8217;m pretty happy with that, even though it&#8217;s a drop in the bucket when compared with the overall signature requirement. If you&#8217;re still interested in signing the petition, no worries, you can still sign the petitions at these locations. Today was merely the deadline for submitting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like many folks around the region, I have in my hands a petition for I-1068: the Marijuana Reform Act, taken from a copy of The Stranger. This act calls for the removal of civil and criminal penalties of marijuana possession and use. I&#8217;m not normally a fan of initiatives but I feel that this is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Times today: Sims proposes bringing back bus-wrap ads. Sims now proposes that the council allow partial-wrap ads that would leave a 15-inch band of glass unobstructed. &#8220;If that provision is repealed, Metro would like to sell a limited number of partial-wrap buses,&#8221; [Sharron] Shinbo said. She said Metro estimates it would make $275,000 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not only do they provide bizarre images to include on MySpace, to appeal to the under 18 voting crowd I presume, but they try to suggest that voting in the primary actually matters. It doesn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s the equivalent of a CNN web poll, for the Democrats, completely non-binding. It&#8217;s pretty much the same for the [...]]]></description>

Let some other state&#8217;s suckers^Wresidents pay hundreds of millions of dollars so a few people can toss a ball around. If only our political leaders could have handled the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this letter to my representatives this morning. The core idea is that banning cell phones won&#8217;t improve safety (because it&#8217;s only one distraction, popularized by the media simply because cell phones have spread so rapidly), and that one of the best ways they could help make the roads safer is to enforce a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle Bus Service, as described by the Seattle PI. I do agree with the general premise, that the current bus system is woefully inadequate. Full busses and infrequent trips just means less &#8220;new&#8221; riders, forcing more people to drive. However, it seems to me that if Seattle really wants better bus service for their residents, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washington state legislature passed a bill to fund hundreds of transporation projects, funded by a $.03-.09/gallon gas tax. In case you haven&#8217;t ever visited Washington state, we have some of the worst traffic ever, and of the major cities I&#8217;ve visited recently, some of the hardest to use public transit (it&#8217;s mostly centralized in Seattle [...]]]></description>
