wow, i sure don't get your hate for Prop 1. let's assume for a moment that you're correct -- that they're just using this "one time" contribution in the same way that levy continuation is requested.
you say: it's a slippery slope! they'll want more money later!
and i respond: ... so? it's the Pike Place Market. i'm happy to give them more money later.
it doesn't make sense to vote along principled ideals all the time. sure, we'd love it if all politics were straightforward, but sometimes you vote for something just because you support it, even if you don't support the methods by which they are requesting funds or support.
if you always vote only for things you think are perfect, you'll end up never voting for anything. maybe you're okay with that, i guess.
