Election Results

Well, I'm generally quite happy about the local election results. Soto should be, too, as the voters agreed with him on many of picks. Turns out I am most relieved that the Seattle area voters did not approve a massive tax increase to build a toy train system to a few thousand passengers per day. Close runners-up were initiatives to make it more difficult and more transparent for the state to raise taxes and increase user fees, and to retain the 60% majority required to pass school levies. These measures are all consistent my desire to keep government small and keep taxes low, a constant battle since the strong tendency of every organization (not just governments) is to grow and spend more.
