OHH!

In the dead of winter, Senator Chris Marr has pushed forward one of the most ill-considered ideas for Washington state transportation in a generation.
Marr is the sponsor of a bill to permanently ban studded tires in Washington. It's a crazy idea, but even more bizarre coming from Marr, who is supposed to represent Spokane -- where icy conditions make studded tires necessary.
According to the Spokesman article, Marr wasn't certain the bill would pass the Legislature, but he noted that it would pass easily if it were put on the ballot as an initiative -- because Western Washington voters would vote yes.

If not, he said, the issue may be taken out of the hands of lawmakers. Western Washington voters would almost certainly back an immediate ban, Marr believes.
"You could put this up as a ballot measure and it would pass instantly," he said.
