From an MR reader:
Good story here about one man in Washington state fighting the battle against the progressive tide. He single handedly got six initiatives on the ballot to repeal progressive reforms over the past few years. These include a police pursuit law that prevents police from chasing criminals in most cases, and a capital gains tax despite the Washington State constitution specifically banning income tax.
One man takes on state government and wins after passage of 3 voter initiatives (fox13seattle.com)
Big recent news is that 3 of the 6 initiatives have already passed in the State legislature, and the rest will be sent to the voters as ballot questions.
We also have a new moderate city council in Seattle that is pressing charges against protestors who disrupt city meetings, making hard drugs illegal again, and trying to re-fund the police department. Also it looks like 12 (out of hundreds) of protestors that recently shut down I-5 in the heart of the city will be prosecuted. This all would have seemed impossible under the former mayor and city council. Definitely a feeling in the air that the tide has turned to some degree.
I await further reports.
