Judge didn't strike down all provisions of 695...??

greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread

Hello again,

I was just going through the page again and I noticed that the front page had written in bold letters that the Judge struck down all provisions of 695. Yet, when I read the statement from the Judge, he only struck down Section 2.

Call me nit-picky, but doesn't that type of mis-information only lead to resentment?

At the botton of page 27 of the judge's ruling http://www.courts.wa.gov/i695/ruling.pdf the first thing the judge does is declare section 2 void. The second thing is that he declares sections 1 and 3 void. The third thing is that he declares that section 5 doesn't do anything since the entire initiative is void. The final thing is that he declares ever other section moot.
