Readers,
The Washington Supreme Court is expected to issue an opinion tomorrow, Thursday, May 31, on a lawsuit that would repeal I-1183, the liquor-privatization initiative slated to take effect Friday, June 1.
The court’s decision may come between 8 and 10 a.m. It will be posted on the court’s website at http://www.courts.wa.gov/appellate_trial_courts/supremecourt/.
Call me in the morning after the decision. I’m anxious to hear your thoughts. Until 9:30 a.m., reach me on my cell at 206-498-0920. After 9:30, call me at my desk phone, 360-475-3783.

It’s really nice that the Washington Supreme Court would deign to issue their pontifications on the subject between 8AM and 10AM on the day before the initiative is slated to take effect.
This will allow small businesses and the public seven to nine business hours for planning their strategies.
Rachel, who is responsible for scheduling this decision today, please?
