I've got a GREAT IDEA. It's OUR money. Let's get 511,000 people and CRASH the millenium party.

Let's Crash it! It's our party as long as the money is public. What are the details.

-- William Sheehan (wsheehan@billsheehan.com), October 26, 1999.

I'm up for going---how about we all e-mail our reps and demand tickets since WE ARE PAYING FOR IT!!!

And crash it if we don't get tickets. After alerting the media of course (heh heh heh)

Sorry about that $225,000.00 mistake Maddjak on the party. Kind of sounds familiar don't it?

If this party is for real, and there is something illegal about it, get the information to the Washington State Auditor.

Is the party real? Oh yeah... its real.

{+ NEW SECTION. +} Sec. 127. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY, TRADE, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

(21) $250,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2000 is provided solely to support the spirit 2000 millennium celebration project.

Is it illegal? Of course not.

Is it stupid? An abuse of the taxpayer? A reason to vote for 695?

Absolutely.

Does it surprise anyone that Maddjak is lying through his teeth on this one?

There is no party, which means that there won't be some "small bang government Millenium party" like Maddjak claims. Gee Maddjak, getting desperate on the lies as the election grows nearer?

The $250,000 appropriation does exist, but it is there to assist local governments in funding municipal celebrations related to the new millenium.

So instead of some small, exclusive, and really expensive government party at taxpayers' expense, this is helping pay for smaller towns to provide extra police during the celebrations and keeping parks open on New Year's Eve so people have a safe community gathering point to celebrate something that comes every 1,000 years. Oh I'm sure people here will still take issue with this, which makes me wonder why Maddjak decided to make something up instead of telling the truth. Any answer for that jak? Did you think that people would get mad at the truth, but not quite as mad as you would like?

Gee Patrick the him-roids (had to spell it like that so you could pronounce it)on your brain must be swelling. They're starting to show on your lips.

Well the money is already allocated. It's $250,000.00. It's for the 'Millenium celebration'

So where is the lie??? Are you saying that Olympia is lying? I just repeated what Olympia has PUBLIshed.

Many of the anti-695ers are not stupid, just deceived. You obviously fit into both categories plus an extra designed just for you...

-- maddjak (maddjak@hotmail.com), October 27, 1999.


Patrick NOBODY CARES exactly what the $250,000.00 is going to be spent on. What pisses people off is that IT IS GOING TO BE SPENT.

Why can't you clowns understand that we are tired of government blowing OUR MONEY?

Maybe we would like the chance to throw it away on something WE CHOOSE.

You can give ALL your money to Olympia if you want to. Hell give them you family too.

-- maddjak (maddjak@hotmail.com), October 27, 1999.



Forget to take your memory pills today maddjak? Or is it that you're just trying to shift attention away from the fact that YOU LIED ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING??? You claimed that it was going to go towards some small government party. It's not. There is the lie.

Well gee, who cares where the money is going? I do for one. Apparently you do too, or else you wouldn't have posted your claim as to where it went. In fact, like I said, you probably just made up that claim because you figured the real explanation would probably not piss off enough people. Unlike you, most people will actually support their tax dollars going towards something that they believe is worthwhile.

By the way, were you ever going to mention that you are a self proclaimed anarchist, and view 695 as just a small step in removing all forms of government to be replaced by anarchy? This shouldn't affect how others view 695, but perhaps give them pause in trusting what you have to say given your motivations.

And thanks for spelling things differently for me, but I think you should spend more time on your grammar instead. "The correct about is $250,000.00", "Hell give them you family too." Me thinks some basic grammar rules have escaped you!

Patrick

You write, "The $250,000 appropriation does exist, but it is there to assist local governments in funding municipal celebrations related to the new millenium.

Could you post a web site or phone number where you got the information from? I have been trying to find it on the states site, but no such luck.

Thank you in advance.
