From our regional-news partners at the Seattle Times, word that Costco stores will start collecting signatures next week for Initiative 1100, which would privatize the liquor business in our state. But the Times says it’s not universally supported by those you might think would be behind it – some say large companies would have an unfair advantage. Here’s the official Costco news release about the initiative; here’s the state list of initiatives now in circulation, including this one (it’s not the only one seeking to privatize liquor sales); here’s the full text of I-1100. It’ll need more than 241,000 valid signatures by July 2 to make the November ballot.
