4. Over on Slog, King County Executive Dow Constantine writes a guest post supporting King County Proposition 1, which would raise the county sales tax 0.2 percent. (Totally agree with Constantine. Last week, we endorsed the measure with a PubliCola "No Brainer.")
5. Crosscut covers a perhaps-unintended consequence of the tax on sugary soda: Sodas that are low in sugar, such as Seattle-based Dry Soda, aren't exempt.
