Those for the All-Ages Dance Ordinance say that music and dance are positive experiences for teens, while those opposed to it say that mixing teens with adults, music, and in some cases alcohol, spells trouble. There's an initiative on the ballot that offers up a solution to our traffic congestion, it's I-745. I-745 would require state and local governments to spend at least 90 percent of their transportation budgets on road construction and maintenance. The other 10 percent could be used for other modes of transportation, such as transit. I-745 opponents believe the initiative will drastically curtail public transit and make traffic congestion worse by forcing people out of buses and into their cars.
Supporters say putting more money into roads is the best way to reduce traffic congestion.
In 1997 a pro-monorail initiative was passed called Initiative 41. The money, which would not require a tax increase, would allow the ETC to hire staff and come up with a detailed monorail plan linking area neighborhoods to downtown Seattle. Within two years, the ETC would be required to submit a plan for voters to approve or reject.
