Here's part two! (Visit Amy's Part One for our position on the Seattle City Council) This has certainly been an exciting off year election and we here at BD won't be making a stance on I-336 or I-901. When it comes to I-901, why don't you take a look at our record breaking thread and make your own call!

State Initiatives: How BetterDonkey is voting

I-912: VOTE NO! - Duh. This one should be a no brainer for anyone who wants Washington to be a safe and economically viable state. Liberals are against it, Progressives are against it, mainstream Republicans are against it and the business community is against it. We made a neat-o video and made our stance known early. I-912 is one of the worst things that could happen to our state. If you're going to vote for only one thing this election, Vote No on I-912!.

I-900: VOTE NO! - Two Words. Tim Eyman. The legislature already expanded the capabilities of the auditor's office to do performance audits last session. Eyman's initiatives have been poisonous in the past and, while some mainstream Republicans and a few Democrats have actually endorsed this initiative, BD will be cold dead in the ground before we ever vote for anything that Tim Eyman has his slimy watch peddlin' hands on.

I-300: VOTE NO! - Do you like pay-outs to the insurance industry? What about protecting bad doctors? Neither do we. The initiative process has gotten out of hand in this state and I-300 is a perfect example. Sorry, Mike McGavick and the insurance industry. Nice Try.

King County Executive: Vote for Ron Sims!

Old Ron has had his problems. There's no other way to describe it. But (to paraphrase old Rummy), the known knowns are much better than the unknown unknowns. Or something like that. Forget about all the nasty rumors about David Irons. Who care's about his private life. His history on mass transit and the environment alone disqualify him for the office:

• He opposes mass transit. Against voter wishes, he wanted to cut valuable money from the Metro bus system. He also opposes Sound Transit.
• He's flattened protected woodlands in the past, and he'll do it again.
• His campaign is financed by a development company that wants to build a massive four lane highway in rural King County

Get to it and get voting! Want to talk about why you're voting the same way? What about why you're voting differently?

The bar is open.
