Re: “Meet the financier behind 6 initiatives” [Jan. 28, A1]:
I disagree with the characterization of the initiatives’ story as being the need of 1 wealthy man to do one thing for himself.
Many voters like me signed these initiatives as a result of the state Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee had a free hand the previous few years in passing legal guidelines which may have the fitting intent however have been extraordinarily misguided in precise coverage and execution. For residents who’re sad with these legal guidelines, initiatives are the one recourse. It doesn’t matter who publicized the signature gathering. It’s the need of the folks provided that tons of of 1000’s of residents willingly signed these initiatives.
The actual disappointment right here is that the Legislature exhibits no intent to contemplate these initiatives, during which case the folks of Washington can have the ultimate say this November.
