Public exposure law backers have enough signatures for ballot
Three Spokane residents appear to have succeeded in gathering the signatures they need to place an initiative on the November ballot asking voters to create a misdemeanor public exposure law. Their proposal was sparked by the proliferation of coffee stands with female baristas working nearly naked – clad in only G-strings and pasties. The Spokane City Council in 2013 rejected an attempt by Councilman Mike Fagan to define what body parts must be covered. The Spokane Valley City Council, however, approved the stricter nudity rules later that year.
More teachers needed: New school rules, requirements create vacuum of positions to fill
A teacher shortage is looming across Washington. The addition of full-day kindergarten along with smaller class sizes through the third grade will require more teachers next school year. Factors driving up the need for more teachers in other grades include new graduation requirements that add more science, world languages and social studies courses starting this fall in high school; and Common Core, the national curriculum implemented this year. A strengthening economy and retirements are creating slots, too.

Government sends incorrect tax forms to some ACA users
In a new setback for the health care law and the people it’s supposed to help, the government said Friday it made a tax-reporting error that’s fouling up the filings of nearly a million Americans. The latest goof could signal new problems with the complex links between President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and the nation’s income tax system. Officials said the government sent the wrong tax information to about 800,000 HealthCare.gov customers, and they’re asking those affected to delay filing their 2014 returns. The issue involves a new government form called a 1095-A, which is like a W-2 form for health care for people who got subsidized private coverage under Obama’s law.

Ancillary revenue comes from fees for checked bags, extra legroom and flight changes, for example. Keay wrote in a report Friday it might be an “inconvenient truth,” but customers like fees. “Maybe that sentence would be better received if we had said ‘customers like paying only for what they use.’ Well, guess what?
