Interesting I-1240 News
Washington State Wire did some digging and found that if I-1240 does qualify for the ballot it would only be the second-fastest in Washington State history (not first). I don't think that's anyone's biggest concern but there you are.
The photo of a table with petitions on it is priceless. Click on it to read the signage. Naturally, they are at Wal-Mart.

Here's the rest of the sign, just for laughs (marker on white paper):
Sign One:
Charter schools
1) hire and fire teachers
2) decide what and how to teach
3) all students can go there
4) no cost to students
5) it's public school
Sign Two:
1) and 2) the same;
3)all students eligible
no tuition public schools

They are apparently being paid $3 per valid signature and are flocking in from around the country. Yep THREE DOLLARS just to get someone to sign.
Wish that money was actually going to a school - starting to think it's time to file an Initiative to make paid signature gatherers illegal ;o)
