Seattlest Vote 2008 Poll: City Propositions 1 And 2
City of Seattle Proposition 1: Seattle Prop. 1 would enact a six-year levy to raise money to do some much-needed safety maintenance on the Pike Place Market. Pretty much everyone in town supports the levy. With uncharacteristically weird grammar, the Times says, "It's not fun or fancy improvements, but you have to do it."
City of Seattle Proposition 2: This one's about the parks levy, and there's some disagreement as to whether or not this is the right time to ask taxpayers for the $145 million package. The Times says there are some good things about the plan, but "one or two promising proposals are not enough to get voters over the hump of ballot fatigue and overtaxation in trying economic times." The Stranger says Prop. 2 is "totally worth voting for." Mayor Nickels wants to wait until 2010 to ask for this levy, because he and this Seattlest both hate nature/beauty/goodness/children.
And you? What do you think about all of this City of Seattle business? More on both Propositions can be found here. Our poll closes tomorrow at 3 p.m., and be sure to drop a note about your reasoning in the comments.
