The meta frame we should try & get at is not ONLY that they want a new Council, but they want a Council that will stop trying to reduce our reliance on regressive taxes - they don't want progressive taxation because they want the rest of us to keep paying THEIR share. That, I think, is precisely what "everyone needs to pitch in, not a select segment" means.

City of Seattle_038941 Notes on DSA meeting 6-5-18: DSA Pres John Scholes says post mayor signing "the next day we sat down with some other businesses leaders" to assess options for taking to the ballot Pamela Hinkley of Tom Douglas Restuarants — brings up minimum wage again and sick and safe, predictive scheduling, says need to be careful about how they talk about homelessness but believe that everyone needs to pitch in, not a select segment. Businesses just have too many things on them. Tim Ceis, GC -this becomes a new tax on food re: groceries -Planning to turn in early next week, last day is afternoon 6/13, confident we will make it. Claims 350 volunteers, 30% of sigs are from volunteers. -Apparently there were decline to sign people outside the meeting, references SEIU, Working WA, and "a couple other unions" have been funding people to go out and follow and harass signature gatherers. -research is showing us that the public is with us, not on this tax specifically, but on this city council. Mad about homelessness, $12m bike lanes, pensions, etc. We will take advantage of this during the campaign. -Conservative estimate is $2 million campaign, crowded ballot, plus another tax levy from the city for families and ed. -John Scholes is doing a tremendous job chairing the steering committee for us, Jack McCoullough on finance, looking to hire someone else as GC -this is not going to be a referendum on the job tax, it will be a referendum on the city council and how they have been stewards of tax dollars -Cherry Street Coffee owner attending -couple people here want more details on what's happening on homelessness now, what is the solution to homelessness, don't want to just be a no, need to have a solution -what do we want? A new city council Jack McCoullough: -agrees with previous people that by taking on this campaign the business community is on the hook for some kind of answer on pressing civic issues -when we turn in signatures, a door closes behind us, there will be an election, winners/losers, can't be successful in '19 elections if we lose this one. -"opportunity to take back our city" — may not see this again in our lifetime Zahur Ahmed: Egan v. City of Seattle_038942 -references a letter in the STimes about building affordable housing in Yesler Terrace, I think about an answer for homelessness -DSA is fully committed to this no tax on jobs Egan v.
