While en route to Olympia, we listened to Seattle Channel coverage of the public hearing for the resolution proposing support for the “do not mail” registry that – if approved at the state level – would give people the chance to opt out of unsolicited direct marketing mail. More people spoke against it than for it – including small businesses who said they rely on direct mail to help get the word out about their businesses. When time came to vote, councilmembers supported the resolution 8 to 1 – Councilmember Jean Godden was the only “no” vote. You can read the full text of the resolution here.
