Still a Failure, Forward Seattle Falls Thousands Short of Ballot

by Goldy — Wednesday, 7/16/14, 4:23 pm

After processing all but six of the 18,928 signatures submitted, King County Elections reports that Forward Seattle is falling 2,134 signatures short of the 16,510 needed to qualify its anti-$15 minimum wage referendum for the ballot.
