 | SEATTLE A resolution declaring opposition to Washington State Initiative 912 and urging all Seattle voters to vote against it in the November 8 General Election will be presented and voted on by the Seattle City Council Monday, October 10th at 2:00 p.m. |
 | If approved by statewide voters, I-912 would repeal the transportation funding package enacted by the 2005 State Legislature and slated for statewide transportation and public safety projects. |
