State appeals court strikes down Seattle's hotel-worker rights law, citing faulty ballot measure
A Seattle initiative from 2016 was just struck down for having too many parts; WA initiative requirements state they may have only one legal subject. Am hoping the same happens with 1639 as seems obvious since the initiative changed over a dozen existing laws, introduced a new crime (community endangerment) and a great many different topics.
Advocates claim it all falls under 'gun safety' ... much like Seattle claimed this one all fell under 'hotel worker safety'. Thoughts / comments?
