The initiative, filed by a group called “Citizens Against Sports Stadium Subsidies,” could put the $135 million spending plan on the ballot early next year.

Specifics of each agency’s protocols and funding for training still need to be sorted out.
One King County councilmember says male-dominated departments have “workplace culture issues.”
But one councilmember thinks funding for affordable housing and the arts should come before subsidizing stadium maintenance.
If passed, the alternative will go on the February ballot opposite a proposal to ban CHELs in King County.
Oversight director says staff still can’t get information it needs to fully vet law enforcement.
See if you can spot the big difference.
