[EL] Seattle is passing Measure I-122: $100 in vouchers to every voter, lower contribution limits, etc.

[Dan Meek]

Seattle voters by 60-40% are passing Measure I-122.  It requires the 
City to send $100 in political vouchers to every voter in January of 
every even-numbered year, to be paid from an increase in property taxes 
(about $30 million over 10 years).  It lowers the contribution limit to 
candidates for City office from $700 to $500.  .  It bans candidates 
from accepting or soliciting contributions from anyone having at least 
$250,000 in contracts with the City in the last two years or who has 
paid at least $5,000 to lobby the City.
