1. Over at HASeattle, Goldy documents just how committed the American Beverage Association is to killing new soda taxes anywhere: They spent millions on an ad campaign in New York state to stop a smiliar tax proposal in its tracks.
(They've already spent $2.4 million here.)
2. The Washington Budget & Policy Center's blog, Schmudget (that's Yiddish for budget!) explains how a bunch of this year's initiatives will impact the state budget..
3. The Spokesman-Review 's Spin Control blog did some sly reporting, forcing the Democrats to yank an anti-Rossi video because they used Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" without permission.
4. The Seattle Times has never quite gotten into the rhythm of blogging (you're supposed to post). Nearly 24 hours after the Times' arch rivals at the PI's Strange Bedfellows blog had the scoop on Sen. Maria Cantwell's big decision to relax her stern populism and go with her party's compromise finance reform bill, the Times got around to posting Cantwell's press release.
5. A little off our usual beat, but the West Seattle Blog has some great neighborhood reporting today about the abrupt departure of Gabriel Claycamp from his meat market, the Swinery.
Claycamp tells WSB that he just wasn't making enough money at the business to stay afloat, and that he will leave it in the hands of Swinery investor James Dillon. Claycamp has been a controversial character in town for years; his bacon-curing operation initially lacked proper permits, and health inspectors shut down a previous Claycamp business, the Culinary Communion cooking school (an outgrowth of his illegal underground restaurant, Gypsy) because it, too, lacked proper permits. He claims to WSB that he only made $4,200 since last September.
