Seattle Votes Down Fee on Bags

Let's see, the Seattle public school system is pathetic (everyone moves to Bellevue when they have kids), the region is literally decades away from having usable public transit, there are so many drug addicts wandering the streets they actually outnumber citizens, violent crime has been increasing, and there are still no plans to do anything with the massive crater on 2nd Avenue.... but don't worry! Our fearless local government is rolling up their sleeves and tackling the most important issue of all -- shopping bags!
