Government agencies call I-976 'poorly drafted hodge-podge' in lawsuit

Several agencies in the Puget Sound area, including King County and the city of Seattle, have filed a lawsuit to prevent Initiative 976 from taking effect.

Last week, voters approved I-976, a measure that would cap all car tab fees at $30.

In response to the measure, King County, the city of Seattle, the Port of Seattle, Washington State Transit Association, Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council of Washington, Garfield County Transportation Authority, Intercity Transit, Association of Washington Cities and civilian Michael Rogers have filed a joint suit to stop the Initiative.

Those in the suit claim that I-976 is "a poorly drafted hodge-podge that violates multiple provisions of the Constitution, including the Single Subject Rule."
